Hothouse Flowers, Kila and Damien Dempsey head lineup for Kilkenny Tradfest

The line-up for the fourth year of the Kilkenny Tradfest is beginning to take shape, with some of Ireland's most decorated names leading the charge to the Marble City.
Evergreen favourites Hothouse Flowers take prime billing on a festival line-up that also includes Colm Mac Con Iomaire, who brings his full band for a performance at St John's Priory.
An altogether more intimate affair is on the cards when Duke Special hit's Cleere's, while Damien Dempsey closes the five-day spectacular with a show at the Set Theatre.
One of the highlights of the event will be an appearance by The Gloaming's Iarla Ó Lionáird, who combines with Australian guitar virtuoso Steve Cooney.
Throw in an outdoor spectacle when Kila visit Kilkenny Castle, a host of other acts set to be announced soon, and the return of the Bulmers Music Trail bringing the excitement to every corner of the city, and there's no end to the attractions to look forward to!
