PLANS ARE UNDER way for a three-day music festival over the June Bank Holiday weekend in Dun Laoghaire after a planning application was filed last month.The application is for a series of concerts to be held on Friday 31 May, Saturday 1 June and Sunday 2 June at Dun Laoghaire Pier.The tickets would be sold on the basis that under-16s attending the event must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Temporary bars would be installed with a licence to serve alcohol, and marquees would be constructed for the event.In a letter, the commercial executive of Dun Laoghaire Harbour confirmed its consent for MCD to stage an outdoor musical event on the dates in question. From the date the planning application was lodged, interested parties had until 21 March to submit any observations or objections to the plan.This proposed music festival will be followed in Dun Laoghaire by the Beatyard Festival, which takes place over the August Bank Holiday. Acts confirmed for this festival include Groove Armada, Chvrches and Jungle.
This would be great for the town and great entertainment too
