This year's Kilkenny Arts Festival takes place between August 10 and 19, bringing a whole array of music and cultural events to the city.

WIRED, a series of performaces curated by Matthew Nolan, will take place as part of the festival in various venues around the city. Kicking things off is Cork man Mick Flannery, who will perform in the Set Theatre on August 10. The following day, Cian Nugent will play at St. John’s Priory, while Rachel Grimes and Katie Kim will perform together in St. Canice’s Cathedral. (For your chance to win tickets to see Rachel and Katie, click here.)

On August 15, the lovely 3epkano will perform in the same location, while Jape will play the Set Theatre (17).
