Top Irish act confirmed for Mayo festival this summer

Ballina will be moving to the sound of Country music when Mike Denver plays the Ballina Salmon Festival this summer.
A top Irish Country music star has been confirmed for this year’s Ballina Salmon Festival,
‘The Galway Boy’ Mike Denver will grace the stage at Military Square on Thursday, July 11, as part of the 60th edition of the long-running community festival.
In addition to being one of Ireland’s top country artists, Denver has won several awards throughout his almost two decades performing live in packed-out venues across the country, including Entertainer of the Year and the Number One Festival Band.
The concert at the Military Square takes place in the surroundings of the recently opened Ballina Innovation Quarter, which organisers say will add to the charm of the occasion and provide a memorable setting for a night filled with great tunes and a lively atmosphere.

Festival staples such as National Heritage Day on July 10, the Teddy Bears Picnic at Tom Ruane Park and the Moy Swim are set to return with a lot more to be announced in the coming months as the countdown begins in earnest.
