The Kickin' Up Dust Arena is a brand new stage for the Laois music festival.
A popular Midlands country singer believes more traditional elements of the genre are making a comeback.
Mullingar's Robert Mizzell alongside Mike Denver are set to headline the first ever Kickin' Up Dust Arena at Forest Fest this year.
It's the first stage dedicated to contemporary country music and Americana, at the music festival taking place at Emo's Bee's Wing Farm.
Mr Mizzell says it's great to see people up on their feet:
