The Waterboys headline in Skibbereen

The Waterboys have been confirmed as the headline attraction on August 1 as Cork X Southwest returns to the Showgrounds in Skibbereen.
Brought to you by those lovely Murphy’s people, the bill also features Lisa Hannigan, Fred, John Spillane, Gavin Moore, John Daly, Túcan, Guggenheim Grotto, Ian Whitty & The Exchange, Nell Bryden, Low Mountain and Tim O’Connor, aka The Hitchhiking Poet.
Tickets are £50 and camping is available.
While there’s no sign of a new album – boo! – Mike Scott & Co. have a download single, ‘The Passing Of The Shee’, available from www.townsend-records.co.uk/sites/waterboys.
