Ex-2FM stars announced as headliners for An Puca Festival
Ex-2FM stars The 2 Johnnies have been announced to headline An Puca Festival
Organisers have announced the line-up for the Co Meath festival, which takes place from October 30 until November 2.
Comedy duo Johnny Smacks and Johnny B will headline the four-day festival which is held across Trim and Athboy.
The line-up includes acts such as Blindboy, Kíla, Qween, The Dublin Gospel Choir, Moonlight: The Philip Lynott Enigma, Jason Byrne, Emma Doran, Young Hot Guys, and Davina Devine, with more performers to be announced soon.
Visitors to the festival can enjoy a wide range of performances and workshops that celebrate Irish myth, music, and heritage. Embark on an eerie journey with Beyond the Veil: The Púca Trail, a mystical walk, in search of otherworldly spirits. Experience the thrilling spectacle of the Samhain Circus, listen to traditional tales with Craicly Stories and Dubliner - The Luke Kelly Story or explore nature on the Foraging Tour and Heritage Tours of Tlachtga (the Hill of Ward).
As Samhain historically marked the end of the harvest season, the Púca Festival embraces the enormous wealth and quality of the local produce on its doorstep in the Boyne Valley.
Visitors can expect to indulge in traditional barmbrack, colcannon and baked apples as they immerse themselves in the local offerings at the Harvest Market, in what promises to be the most spirited Púca Festival to date, serving up a true feast for all the senses.
Tickets will go on sale Friday 11 July at 10am.
