Little trouble at Féile 1993 as thousands of young people enjoy a weekend of live music in Thurles.
Most of the 50,000 fans stayed at the campsite on the Thurles racecourse for the weekend. Despite security on the site, many people reported the theft of money and belongings after their tents were slashed while they slept.
Once a year, on the same weekend, Thurles was the home to the biggest rock festival in Europe.
Irish band The Four of Us were a big hit at the concert and headliners INXS attracted around 40,000 people to Semple Stadium.
Among the acts that appeared over the three-day event were Iggy Pop, Manic Street Preachers, Spiritualized, and Madness. Irish performers on the bill include Therapy?, Chris de Burgh, A House, The Frank and Walters, That Petrol Emotion, The Golden Horde, Mary Black, The Sultans of Ping, Something Happens, The Cranberries, and Whipping Boy.
A weekend ticket for Féile ’93 cost £45.
