Festival season continues, and is pretty unrelenting, when you think about it! Longitude has only just left Marlay Park, and we’re back with all things funny in the Iveagh Gardens, with the Comedy Festival from the 25th to the 28th of June. KnockanStockan 2013 is in Blessington with some great Irish and international bands.
