BREAKING: Popular RTÉ DJ set to headline summer music festival in small Tipperary village

Hoolie in the Hills is set to take place across the August Bank Holiday weekend, August 3 and 4, in Upperchurch.

The event welcomes headline acts 2FM’s DJ Jenny Greene and trad musician Sharon Shannon.

On the Saturday, Hoolie on the Hills presents BASS CAMP with DJ Jenny Greene.

Joining the line-up is the dynamic five-piece Rhythm and Sticks, with local favourites The Dorans and Tradstone.

“We’re in party mode on Saturday night with Jenny Greene from 2FM and a high-octane, big energy line-up. We’re switching gears on Sunday with a more relaxed country feel featuring Sharon Shannon and some well-known local and national bands to ease into the bank holiday,” said organiser Fergal Butler from Kinnane’s Pub in Upperchurch.

The event will present COOLA BOOLA on Sunday, featuring world-renowned Irish traditional artist Sharon Shannon with trad act Rebel Hearts, local band Streams of Whiskey, the newly formed trad band Seskin Lane, Kevin Molloy of Dublin City Ramblers fame and other favourites such as Strings and Things and The Bootlegs.

Doors will open at 3pm until 11pm, when the afterparty continues both nights with local DJs playing in the marquee at Kinnane's Field in Upperchuch.

“We are delighted to revive the lively music scene in Upperchurch,” Fergal told us, “We’re so excited to welcome our headline acts DJ Jenny Greene and Sharon Shannon to the village – they’re in for a treat! The vibe here is just pure craic. We can’t wait to see everyone let loose over the bank holiday weekend.”

The inaugural event, last year, saw 3,000 people in the hills of Upperchurch.

The organisers say they hope to welcome over 5,000 this year to gather in Kinnanes Field over the bank holiday weekend for ‘pure craic’.
