The annual Healyfest in Ballycastle is set for yet another fantastic August bank holiday weekend. The festival, which is celebrating its 20th year in existence, will deliver its best ever weekend of live music and craic in the north Mayo beauty spot.
The legendary music festival will run from the 1st to the 4th of August this year, with a great variety of acts confirmed and more to be announced closer to the big weekend.
Event organiser Pat 'Smiler' Mitchell, owner of host venue Healy's Bar, Ballycastle, said there is huge interest from around the region and beyond; "We have a great selection of live acts confirmed including Gorilla Radio, Southbound, Burbon Smoke, Devil's Cadillac, Tommy Maloney, Buck Taylor, Madra and Buzzed with more great acts to be announced. It's shaping up to be a fantastic weekend of music!".
