Body & Soul Music and Arts Festival has announced the full stage times for its 10th Aniversary celebration of the summer solstice which kicks off next weekend, June 21st to June 23d in Ballinlough Castle, Co Westmeath. The theme of Ritual infuses this year's programme that offers a weekend of music and performance, immersive art installations, workshops and spiritual reflections, thought-provoking discussions, woodland discos, wood-fired hot tubs, a programme for families, and tasty gastronomic delights.
The programme of 200+ acts extends across 13 stages and venues. Just some of the hotly anticipated acts on the line-up include explosive French duo The Blaze; a 25th-anniversary show from Kruder & Dorfmeister; Berlin techno duo Modeselektor (Live); Irish electronic singer-songwriter Talos; rap icon in the making Octavian; spiky and elastic hip-hop beats from IAMDDB; Derry's bright new talent Soak; festival favourites King Kong Company; comedy highlights from the Lords of Strut, Alison Spittle and Fred Cooke; the searing, passionate voice of Kate Tempest; and the recently announced Sleaford Mods and CupcakKe.
Final weekend tickets, and limited edition Sunday day tickets and Play Now, Pay Later payment plans are available from bodyandsoul.ie
