Shedfest 2016 with Corner Boy as Main Act
This yearâs Shedfest is on Saturday 9th July in the Arena Buffers Alley. Shedfest has become a firm favourite with music fans from across the south east and this yearâs line-up looks like it could be the best yet. Tickets costing â¬20, are now on sale online at wexfordartscentre.ie. Tickets are also available at the Book Café, Gorey, Wexford Arts Centre, Murt Walshâs Enniscorthy, Hammels, Kilmuckridge and also from club members. It is a strictly over 18 event and ID will be required to gain entry.
The very best of Wexfordâs vibrant music scene will showcase at the festival this year. âCornerboyâ following last yearâs success will again headline the festival. âMorning, Morning,â âSunlightâ, âLetâs Hit the Roadâ and âMove to Parisâ are sure to rock the Shedfest with their distinctive blend of traditional instruments with contemporary musical themes.
Goreyâsâ 5 Dollar Shakesâ continue on their upward curve and will bring their infectious energy to Shedfest. Their music is influenced by indie, rock, pop, punk and dance resulting in a powerful but accessible sound. âAuxiliary Love,â âCome and See Enough to Stay,â âBack to the Start Againâ will showcase their energy and enthusiasm and get the Shedfest rocking.
This year, in association with Beat 102103, we ran a Battle of the Bands competition. Over 20 bands entered and a short list of 5 went through to a public vote. âFit For Kingsâ a 5 piece rock/pop band from Wexford town topped the poll of almost 8000 votes. They have released a number of singles âHeartache,â âLove Ainât Like the Moviesâ and their latest offering âParalysedâ. A young band with a bright future.
Novella Hermosa fronted by Ballygarrettâs own Luke Cosgrave complete the impressive line-up. The 6 piece rock outfit have an impressive list of credits to their name with some special songs like âBroken Glassâ, âNo Moreâ, âWorryâ and â Butterfly in Rainâ. Lukeâs electric violin is sure to be one of the many highlights of this yearâs festival. Check out all the bands, promotions, competitions and gossip on our Shedfest Facebook page.
Resident DJ Nigel Quaid has been with us since day one and heâll keep the floor filled with his mix of the very latest chart toppers and classic hits. Shedfest has a dedicated taxi rank operating all night thanks to Mick Stamp Taxis and Bus Hire. There will be a Late Bar and as per usual the ticket price includes BBQ specials served by Chef Kennedy till midnight.
Weâd like to thank the public for their continued support for the last seven years and making Shedfest such a great success.
See you at Shedfest!
