With the sun at their backs, the countdown to this year’s inaugural Live At Castle Mills music series is well underway.
On Friday night, the big-top style venue, running between the River Nore and the outer walls of Kilkenny Castle along the Canal Walk will welcome iconic punk band Public Image Limited (PiL), Ash and local rockers Kerbdog while Saturday brings more homegrown heroes in Engine Alley, along with Lisa O’Neill and The National’s Matt Berninger as headliner to town.
Now, we know who’s on and when, and what things are due to look like.
