FÉILE ‘19

SEMPLE STADIUM, THURLES

Nearly thirty years ago, FÉILE became Ireland’s first ever multi-day music festival and it was like nothing the country had ever seen before. Punk, rock and rave fans came together to celebrate their love of music, the Irish live music scene exploding as a result. After a long hiatus, the festival made a much-anticipated return in 2018 as Féile Classical. In 2019, the festival returned to its roots as FÉILE 19, a weekend long festival built on the classic bands and unforgettable music of the 90s with a hugely impressive line-up and a host of fringe events across the festival weekend.

One of the highlights of the festival was Sinead O'Connor performing her own songs, and some select hits from the Songbook of Shane MacGowan.
