MUSIC: Extra acts added to Bulmers Live at Leopardstown

BULMERS Live at Leopardstown has unveiled two more excellent live acts that will add to a growing eclectic summer programme.

Joining some already revealed stellar performers in Something Happens (June 8), Hot House Flowers (July 13), The Riptide Movement (July 20), The Stunning (July 27) and Sister Sledge (August 10), will be one of Ireland’s finest modern showmen in The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow (June 15) and the Grammy-nominated The Original Wailers (June 22).

From his days fronting the excellent An Emotional Fish, Jerry Fish has been one of this country’s most enigmatic performers, evolving his sounds and artistic aesthetic over the years to become a musical ringmaster of exceptional renown.

Jerry’s Mudbug Club brought captivating lounge music to a whole new Irish audience, while his Electric Sideshow has wowed festival goers with its Mardi Gras panache in recent years.

The Original Wailers meanwhile have carried the torch of Bob Marley’s globally successful music over the last 10 years. 

Featuring Al Anderson, the guitarist who played on hits such as ‘No Woman No Cry’ and toured with the Wailers during the 70s, The Original Wailers have continued the wonderful legacy left by reggae music’s biggest international star.

With one more major announcement left for summer 2017, Bulmers Live at Leopardstown has again delivered another excellent mix of live music to compliment a programme of top class horse racing, festival food and a wide selection of hospitality options available for everyone, from the great value ‘Summer Bundle’ to the premium ‘Summer Party’.

 Bulmers Live at Leopardstown has gone from strength to strength in recent years with crowds of over 40,000 attending the summer festival which runs from June through August. 

International names such as Johnny Marr, Peter Hook and The Human League have joined legendary Irish performers like The Boomtown Rats, Ash, The Stunning, Sharon Shannon and emerging forces The Strypes, 

Hermitage Green, and The Academic in hugely successful summers at Leopardstown.
