I know Stendhal technically isn't a Donegal music event, but a lot of DL'ers would attend it, so:

I got my tickets ages ago on the Early Bird offer 😎

NIMAN · 28-03-2023 7:49pm

Same.

They said this is 1st phase of announcements. I do hope other headliners are announced, as I don't think that lineup is strong.

Pretty weak line up for me too. It's always enjoyable though.

Any idea where in Gweedore this festival is held?

Lineup not really my cup of tea but Ash are always great anytime I see them.

Viper Central - Balor Theatre Ballybofey May 26th.

Vancouver’s Viper Central rip it up bluegrass style with sweet n' crunchy harmonies and tight melodic breaks that'll make your heart soar, your feet shuffle and your blood curdle.

Canadian roots and the traditions of American Bluegrass, Country, Rockabilly and Old-time influence their ever evolving style. All members of this rotating group contribute original songs but won't hesitate to deliver up their take on an ages-old mournful waltz or bring the house down with a barn-burning bluegrass standard.

Not strictly a Donegal music gig, but might interest folk close to the border.
