The Undertones and Sharon Shannon have been confirmed on the lineup for the 2025 Macroom Music Festival.
Taking place on June 1 from 5pm, further acts will be added to the performing bill in due course.
Sharon Shannon is one of Ireland’s best-loved musicians, known for fusing traditional Irish music with a range of genres, and for her wide-ranging collaborations.
The Undertones emerged from Derry in 1976 as a result of five friends learning how to play basic rock and roll. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording John O’Neill’s ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978 on Terri Hooley’s Good Vibrations label in Belfast. The legendary DJ John Peel received a copy and liked it so much he famously played it twice in a row on his radio show.
As part of the festival there will also be live performances from local musicians and bands spread out across the different bars in the Mid Cork town on Sunday, June 1.
