Damien Dempsey to headline new Hideaway Session X Night and Day

Damien Dempsey has been announced for Night and Day's upcoming satellite festival, the Hideaway Sessions.

Night and Day's first iteration was in 2022, with its 2026 line-up attracting large crowds to Roscommon in May. The first satellite festival is set to take place in Leitrim on September 19.

The festival will see three stages across 100-acre woodland in Drumhierny Woodland Hideaway, with indoor and outdoor performance spaces.

Dempsey will be joined by Áine Tyrell, The Vibes, Fair Green and Kit James, with organisers confirming that more acts and an accompanying wellness programme are yet to be announced.

Drumhierny has previously hosted Hideaway Sessions, with guests such as Lisa Hannigan, Paul Noonan and Gemma Hayes.

"This means a lot to us," said Alison Moffat, co-founder of Drumhierny.

"Bringing people together through culture and arts is something the founding fathers of Drumhierny always wanted for this place, and hosting Night and Day here, with a lineup like this, is us carrying that on. We're proud to build this with them, and it puts the northwest on the map."

Tickets are on sale now and are available here.
