The Worlds Friendliest Festival is Back! #KS2018

Several weeks back I got an email from the organisers of my favorite festival announcing the first 30 acts from their 2018 line up, an amazing line up I might add.  Knockanstockas (KS2018) is to return on the 27th, 28th & 29th of July this year after a year sabbatical.

KS2016 Knockanstockan 2016 was my first experience of a music festival in Ireland.  It was by far one of the greatest experience I had that year.

The organisers were friendly, extremely helpful and efficient.  The Artists were varied in genres, each of whom delivered stunning performances.  But it was the overall atmosphere that sucked me in.  The vibe was friendly, the pace was nice and slow, but most of all, the festival goers were relaxed and happy, it was the quality of the festival goers that did it for me, they were a perfect representation of the overall mood and feeling of the entire weekend and I truly hope that I get invited back again this year.

Below the video, you will find a list of the first 30 acts that have been announced with some links to each so you may get a feel of what to expect this year.  Enjoy, and hopefully, I’ll see you there.
