Liss Ard 2012Did we say final additions, we did didn’t we. We really meant it too but the guys over at Liss Ard Festival have made dirty liars out of us. It’s OK though, we never mind such things when it means squeezing in another great act.

So thought heading down to Skibbereen for the August bank holiday weekend can add the electronic maestro Nicolas Jaar to their potential viewing dilemma’s on the Saturday 4th August.

Tickets for the weekends entertainment are €89.50 for weekend camping. €70.50 without camping and €39.50 for a day pass. Tickets are available from Ticketmaster.ie and outlets nationwide.
