All four stages are just a short walk from the camping, campervan and caravan sites.

Music lovers attending this year’s Forest Fest won’t need to walk 500 miles to see their favourite bands.

The Laois event is considered one of Ireland’s easiest festival.

More than 100 artists, including I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) duo The Proclaimers, will perform to almost 10,000 a night at the family-friendly festival in Emo, Co Laois, for its second year from July 21-23.

All four stages are just a short walk from the camping, campervan and caravan sites where festival-goers are staying.

Acts taking to the Forest Stage, include Sister Sledge, featuring Kathy Sledge, Ash, Suede and James.

The Village Stage will host Peter Hook and the Light, The Frank and Walters, and Something Happens, among others.

Róisín O, Trouble Pilgrims, and Smiths tribute act These Charming Men will take to the Perfect Day stage.

Sharon Shannon is Saturday’s headline act on the Fleadh stage and she will be joined by more than two dozen other acts, including Goitse and The Raines.

Campervan and caravan spaces have sold out but there are still other tickets available.
