Summer of Music: Kaleidoscope presents We Are Family
With the combination of the Live Performance Support Scheme and the success of the Government's test gigs at the Iveagh Gardens and the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, we are on the verge of a huge explosion of music activity. As part of our Summer of Music 2021 special feature, we're taking a look at some of the most eagerly anticipated events of the summer...
We Are Family
Where: Russborough House, Blessington, Co. Wicklow
When: August 13–15
Who: JC Stewart, LYRA, Ryan McMullan, Bobbi Arlo, Joe Dougan, Cairde, Dublin Gospel Choir, Lea Heart, Rigsy, African Gospel Choir, Tracy Clifford and Odhran Murphy
What: The team behind Ireland’s first family-focused music and arts festival, Kaleidoscope, are back with We Are Family – a series of six intimate shows taking place in the beautiful green surrounds of the historic Russborough House. The festival will host 500 people, in designated pods, for both a matinée and evening show each day. Thirst-quenching alcohol-free beer, mocktails and minerals will be available at the Zero Bar – but you can also BYOB.
Make sure to: Bring your gran! The first 100 grannies, grandads and gran-guardians go free.
Tickets: €79 for a family of four and €20 for individuals. See kaleidoscopefestival.ie or ticketmaster.ie for more details.
