It will also involve a three-day music festival in Mullingar - the exact location of which will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

The festival will comprise of three different themed nights:

Friday 29th April - Lakelands Sessions - comprising three of Irelands best known pop/rock artists and groups.

Saturday 30th April - Lakelands Showbands show, including the best known names on the showband circuit.
