Limerick venue to host ‘throwback’ music festival next summer

LIMERICK’S TUS Gaelic Grounds is set to host a ‘throwback’ music festival in summer 2024.

The Big Day Out, 90s vs 00s, is coming to the outdoor Limerick city venue next August 31, 2024. Tickets are now available to purchase on Ticketmaster.  

A star-studded lineup has been announced, with headline acts including FIVE and D:Ream, as well as Cascada and Swedish DJ, Basshunter.

The “throwback party of the summer” will be hosted by Mark McCabe, who will be performing his iconic song Maniac 2000 and playing some of the largest floor fillers of the 90s and 00s!

From the 90’s, FIVE will be live on stage performing hits like ‘Keep on Movin’ and ‘Slam Dunk (the Funk)’, while D:REAM Live will be keeping the party going with their hits ‘Things can only get better’ and ‘UR The Best Thing’.

After nearly 20 years of filling dance floors across the world with hits like ‘Everytime We Touch’ and ‘Evacuate the Dancefloor’, dance sensations of the 00’s Cascada will be performing some of the world’s best party anthems, while Swedish DJ and producer Basshunter will be pumping out his hits like ‘Now You’re Gone’ and ‘All I Ever Wanted’.

Two major gigs set to enchant Limerick audiences next summer

With over five billion streams, 20 UK and Ireland No.1s and some of the biggest dancefloor hits in the world between them, these acts are paramount of the 1990s and 2000s dance music eras. 

While the TUS Gaelic Grounds on the Ennis Road is typically home of Limerick GAA, the Big Day Out 90s vs 00s will be one of a few events in history to bring music to the stadium. 

The Wolfe Tones previously headlined a gig last August, which saw other acts such as George Murphy & The Rising Sons, Michael Maloney and Cailíní Lua also feature on the night.

Following the success of the Wolfe Tones show last year, Gaelic Sounds, an Irish folk music festival is also coming in 2024, to the TUS Gaelic Grounds as well. 

A stellar lineup of acts have been announced, including George Murphy & Rising Sons, All Folk’d Up, The Highstool Prophets, Fieldsy & Guest and headline act The Whistlin’ Donkeys.
