Unmissable gigs of the summer: Cat Power, Jurassic 5 & more at this year’s Castlepalooza

JOE

Castlepalooza is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style this year.

If you’re making your way to Charleville Castle in Tullamore on 1-3 of July, then you can expect a wonderful weekend full music, festivities and arts.

There are still a limited number of tickets available here.

Still need convincing?

Here are 5 amazing acts that are performing at this year’s festival.

Caribou

Caribou in such an intimate venue will be to be a thing of beauty.

Check out their 2014 album ‘Can’t do Without You.’  It really is cracking stuff.

Cat Power

The American singer-songwriter is indie royalty.

If you don’t own at least one of her albums, can you really call yourself a music fan? We’re not so sure.

Jurassic 5

Speaking of musical royalty, it doesn’t get much bigger than 90s superstars Jurassic 5.

They’ve been doing their thing since 1993, but don’t let that fool you, these guys are as energetic as ever.

Villagers

Conor O’Brien has been releasing amazing albums for fun in recent years, so you can imagine our excitement when we heard that he is bringing his band to Castlepalooza.

O’Brien is a once in a generation talent and we can’t wait to see him perform.
