Forest Fest promoter says they are working tirelessly to ensure that Forest Fest is the festival that everyone is talking about.
Six new acts have been added to the line-up for a midlands festival.
Forest Fest, in Emo, has already over 30 acts confirmed for the summer festival.
Three Underneath, Strings n' Things, The Barley Mob, Manden Express, Flublah and Ares Redemption are new names added for the event next July.
"We set out to make Forest Fest a fun event which would capture the spirit of the summer where people could celebrate and socialise and let their hair down again after an absence of festivals since 2020. We also wanted to showcase a broad spectrum of music, the best talent on the live music scene as well as provide a platform for the best of emerging acts, and the six bands we have added encapsulate that ethos and those objectives," explained Forest Fest promoter, Philip Meagher.
"And we're not done yet," he teased. "We have been working tirelessly to ensure that Forest Fest is the festival that everyone is talking about, that it's the festival that engages and entertains with the best of establishing bands and the most exciting of emerging talent. We also want to have fun and give great value-for-money to families and music fans."
Alongside the stunning music programme unveiled for the July festival the Forest Fest team are currently collaborating with other partners to develop and equally impressive fringe festival line-up, arts programme and some captivating children's entertainment and family fun.
"It's all going to add up to a most memorable, exciting and entertaining weekend in Laois which is already attracting fans from all over the country with a brilliant uptake of the Festival Club, weekend and camping tickets, which are heading towards selling out in advance of the event," outlines Philip Meagher.
With today's additions to the line-up Forest Fest fans can look forward to a veritable feast of music with grunge, contemporary folk, reggae, Afro-beats, soul, and rock, all in the diverse mix from Three Underneath, Stings n' Things, The Barley Mob, Manden Express, Flublah, and Ares Redemption.
"All of these acts are a fantastic addition to our line-up; they will bring something special to the Forest Fest party in July and we're delighted to have them on board. And there's more to come…" according to Philip Meagher.
