The sun has been shining (oh so fucking briefly) over the last few days and that can mean one of a few things: a). There is something wrong – b). God is punishing our pasty white skin for sins we have yet to commit – or c). It’s nearly summer!

With that, we’re delighted to bring you the news of 40 acts that have just been added to the KnockanStockan lineup.

Having put a hefty five GP Plec Picks on the lineup already, Loah joins the ranks to bring her brand of Art/Soul to the Blessington Lakes this July. Also joining her will be Gavin Glass & The New Shakers and Tongue Bundle who recently played our #GoldenBeck showcase nights.

Combining the below list with an already stellar cast of Irish acts (you can see the full list here) – it’s safe to say that KnockanStockan – ONCE AGAIN – has put together the best Irish festival lineup in the country (hands down).
