THE FOLLY FESTIVAL 2023

The Folly Festival will return on July 7th & 8th 2023, and we are thrilled to announce our acts for what promises to be another wild and wonderful weekend in July!

With Lyra, Lea Heart, Robert Grace, Chasing Abbey, Flynn, Aimée, Bradley Marshall, Isaac Butler and Bayviin, all appearing live, it is a lineup that is sure to thrill all who are lucky enough to attend the intimate village venue, situated beneath the towering ruin of historic Cullohill Castle.

The Folly Festival is Irelands first ever gender balanced music festival, which in 2018, first addressed the discrepancy within the entertainment industry, when male artists outnumbered female artists 5:1, and the ratio was the same throughout the industry’s engineering and production roles. In selecting our performers, we actively promote gender balance, selecting our lineup accordingly, with an equal number of male and female acts.

Music, Comedy & Culture is what our event is all about, and over the course of two magical days in July, we aim to deliver it in spades! 

Up to two children, under the age of 14, gain free admission to our evening concerts, once accompanied by a ticket holding adult.
The Folly Festival is brought to you by Cullohill Community Council with the support of Electric Picnic, Laois Partnership Company and Laois County Council.
