Macroom Music Festival has announced the headlining line-up for its 2024 edition, set to take place over the weekend of June 21-22-23.

This year, Irish rock band The Stunning will take the stage of the Co. Cork festival, as well as Hermitage Green and The White Horse Guitar Club.

Meeting a massive success in Ireland in the 90s, The Stunning are most known for their numerous hit singles such as ‘Brewing Up A Storm’, ‘Half Past Two’ and ‘Romeo’s On Fire’. These days, the band only plays a select number of shows per year, including Macroom Music Festival.

Folk rock Irish band Hermitage Green has been touring sold-out shows globally, selling out venues across the world and sharing the stage with artists such as Lewis Capaldi, Paloma Faith, Bastille, Two Door Cinema Club and more.

11 piece folk and alt country group The White Horse Guitar Club have met widespread acclaim in Ireland over 2023, and are set to follow with their debut album in late 2024 / early 2025.

Macroom Music Festival is a re-edition of the first open-air festival in Ireland, The Macroom Mountain Dew Festival which ran from 1976 until 1982 and brought Rory Gallagher to West Cork.

While the original edition was held in the castle grounds, the festival returns to the gates of the castle, in the square of Macroom town.

On top of these headlining shows, the festival includes a band trail on Friday night, as well as a Family Day on Sunday, featuring activities, games and face painting run by The Macroom Lions Club.

Festival organiser Killian Lynch says: “In 2022, the people of Macroom got their town back and Macroom Music Festival was an ideal opportunity to showcase it to its full potential.
Macroom is a market town in the centre of the Scenic Lee Valley and has a large community feel about.

“Last year was such a great success,” he continues. “We were so proud of the event and delighted to see so many faces back in the town. It is great to see a real buzz around Macroom town again.”

Tickets for Macroom Music Festival start from €48.50 and are available here.
