Ireland's first drive-in country music festival

A first for the Midlands and a first for Ireland! Kilbeggan Country Music Drive In Festival takes place on Bank Holiday Monday, June 7, next.

Johnny Brady, Cliona Hagan, Robert Mizzell, Patrick Feeney, Matt Leavy and The Sheerin Family take to the stage for the first time in over a year in what promises to be a fun-filled day of music and song.

Set on over 40 acers just across the road from Kilbeggan Race Course, The American Green Barn has hosted an array of Safe Drive In Events over the past year. Events included Drive in Movies, Drive In Bingo and Drive In Concerts.

On June 7 you can roll up in your car or camper or even your tractor and enjoy three hours of the best country music from the comfort and safety of your own vehicle.

“I cannot contain my excitement at the thoughts of getting back on stage and where better to start than at Kilbeggan Country Festival, I get to share the stage with such great artists and performers. It’s probably going to be quiet emotional for some of us,” says Cliona Hagan.

This is a ticket-only event which can be purchased from www.kilbeggandrivein.com or from one of these outlets: M6 Centra Kilbeggan, Centra Service Centre Moate, Rochfords Mullingar, Foxs Shop Tullamore. Gates open at 1pm and the festival starts at 3pm.
