Singer-songwriter David Keenan will be playing on the night, as well as R&B duo Negro Impacto, Elephant, Jinx Lennon, Geansaí, imBau, Sophie Coyle, with more to be announced.

The show will take place on Saturday August 3 in Spirit Store, the winner of the Best Live Music Venue award in Leinster at the IMRO Ireland Venue of the Year Awards.

The organisers said that they are aiming to “raise much needed funds for Medical Aid Palestine in light of the ongoing horrors of war and genocide being inflicted on civilians in the region.”

The event will include three stages throughout the venue for the artists to perform on, and “hopes to raise good energy on the night in what promises to be a magic one off night of music and togetherness.”
