Experimental electronic rockers Meltybrains?, singer songwriter Patrick Freeman and Kerry hiphop act Young Phantom just some of the recent additions to this year's edition of Block Party.

Also announced are some of QBP's participatory events including Cathy Walsh's 'Running Up That Hill'. Provoked by the #wakingthefeminists movement and inspired by Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’, the people of Cork City will march through the streets and dance together in celebration on North Main Street, the historic spine of the city. In Abigail Conway’s participatory installation Time Lab, visitors are asked to dismantle a wristwatch or clock and reconstruct it to form an item of jewellery of sculpture in order to reflect on time as they dismantle the very tools of measuring the passing of time.

Meanwhile back on the musical front, there are lots more exciting acts confirmed with London-based Rozi Plain, Icelandic Jófríður Ákadóttir and Wexford act Basciville. Following appearances at festivals including Glastonbury, End of the Road and Green Man, up and coming folkster Rozi Plain makes her debut performance in Cork as a solo artist, while Jófríður Ákadóttir, a member of Pasal Pinon and Samaris, presents a new solo project.
