Trip to Tipp Returns in 2019

The festival, which is brought to us by Joe Clark's Limerick production company CWB, will take place again at Semple Stadium in Thurles on Friday and Saturday, September 20 and 21, 2019, it has been announced this Wednesday morning.

The same production company was also responsible for successful bringing Feile Classical to life this year.

The first acts to be announced for the new festival are the Sultans of Ping with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, along with The Frank and Walters and Mundy.

According to Limerick Leader, a launch of the event is expected to take place in the new year, but organisers are promising the weekender will have “all of the nostalgia” of Feile Classical, this time with two days of the best of Irish music, a different line-up each day.

Announcing Trip to Tipp Weekender event curator Tom Dunne says:

“I was humbled to have been part of something so special as what took place in Thurles, it was remarkable.

“When each of the bands got back home to normality, the feeling just stayed with us, we kept in touch swapping stories and having the craic about whose set was the best, the energy was still with us, the conclusion was that the buzz of the weekend was far too special to be a once off.

“The Trip to Tipp is back and it needs to stay, I got in touch with CWB.ie and they secured the dates for 2019.

“Ken Rice and the ICO are on board to create some magic and our first announcement for 2019 is Sultans of Ping – a true cult band of the 90s, along with Mundy, The Frank and Walters and many others – it’s going to be all of the magic of this September and a hell of a lot more.”
