The promoters are confident the Galway event will go ahead next year.

Those dreaded “unforeseen circumstances” have claimed the Moondance Music & Arts Festival, which was to have run between August 14 and 16 in Petersburg House, Clonbur, County Galway and included Lisa Hannigan, Jape, Kíla and Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club among its headliners.
Apologising for the eleventh hour cancellation, former Saw Doctors man Pearse Doherty says the family-oriented bash will definitely happen in 2010. Credit card bookings will be automatically refunded.
