Damien Dempsey, Mary Black and Ye Vagabonds have been announced as headliners for the Doolin Folk Festival.

The Clare event will also feature Peggy Seeger + Calum MacColl, John Spillane, Wyvern Lingo and many more exciting acts across June 10-12.

"The festival is relatively new on the scene but it feels like it has been going on forever," says festival organiser and Hotel Doolin Managing Director, Dónal Minihane.

"When I tell people it is only in its eighth year they can't believe there wasn't a festival here before. Doolin is synonymous with folk music in Ireland and so many musicians and music lovers have a connection with the area, the festival just feels so natural. The weekend is a celebration of Doolin and the music that has drawn and continues to draw people here from all corners of the world."

He continues to say that they're "not interested in being a big festival. That's the beauty about The Doolin Folk Festival, our size allows us to create a unique atmosphere, presenting powerful music in an intimate setting and ensuring that audiences and musicians can feel at one and just enjoy the communal spirit of such festivals."

Some other acts playing at Hotel Doolin are Skipper's Alley, This Is How We Fly, Matt Molloy and The Olllam.

Weekend tickets for the Doolin Folk Festival are on sale now for €119 here.
