This year's Glastonbury's Acoustic Stage will see an array of Irish names perform at one of the world's largest music events.

Sligo traditional music band Dervish are billed to grace the Glastonbury stage on the Friday night.

Playing slightly earlier on the same day is Cork band The Burma, who shared today's news on X, saying that they were 'delighted' and thanked Culture Ireland for their funding support:

We’re delighted to announce we’ll be playing The Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury this Summer!

Thanks a million to @culture_ireland for the support on this trip! @glastonbury #glastonbury #glastonburyfestival #festival #glastofest #whatsonatglastonbury #somerset pic.twitter.com/QDsGdbNs9X

The Saturday will also see a fresh wave of Irish talent take to the Glastonbury stage with Portaferry singer-songwriter Ryan McMullan first up.

The 'Letting Go for Little While' star will be followed by fellow Irish singer song writer Paul Casey.

Other acts announced for the Acoustic stage are Gladiator star Russell Crowe, Catalan rumba group Gipsy Kings, and American singer-songwriter Judy Collins, whose career has spanned over seven decades - to name a few.

Today's announcement follows the array of Irish talent announced in Glastonbury's first round of acts featuring Kneecap, Mary Wallopers, NewDad, Two Door Cinema Club, this year's Choice Music Prize winners Lankum, and Fontaines D.C.

This year's festival is due to take place from June 26-30.
