Dermot Kennedy will join Noel and Mike Hogan of The Cranberries with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on Sunday as they unite to perform the band’s iconic songs for the first time in eight years.

The London Palladium in May 2017 was The Cranberries’ final performance. Since then, their music has continued to be as enduringly popular today as it was during the lifetime of The Cranberries.

Dermot, Noel and Mike will play at 3.30pm some of these hits accompanied by the rich sounds of the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

This will be Dermot Kennedy’s third time to play Electric Picnic and his second time on the Main Stage. Kennedy headlined at Electric Picnic in 2022, a significant performance that marked a return to the festival where he had play to small crowds as he was starting out his career.
