The Trip to Tipp is coming back in 2019.
After a successful return in September 2018 as the Féile Classical, the Thurles concert is set for a second run next year.
The 2018 Trip to Tipp saw two-sold out concerts entertain over 20,000 people, and was lauded as some the gigs-of-the-year.
CWB.ie say it is delighted to announce the next event will take place Friday 20th and Saturday 21st September 2019, featuring two days of music with two different line-ups each day.
The first band to be confirmed, a huge treat for 90s fans, is cult group Sultans of Ping.
They return to Thurles for the first time in 26-years and will perform their hits with the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
Also taking to the 2019 stage, fellow Corkonians The Frank and Walters, whose euphoric opening was one of this year’s highlights and a special performance from Mundy who promises an atmosphere of ‘Gin & Tonic’ skies over Semple.
Trip to Tipp Weekender will also feature performances from lots of the Féile Classical 2018 bands, along with some other 90’s legends.
This year’s festival will feature a bigger new Glampsite, with more options to suit all festival-goers.
Announcing Trip to Tipp Weekender event curator Tom Dunne says:
“I was humbled to have been part of something so special as what took place in Thurles, it was remarkable.
"When each of the bands got back home to normality, the feeling just stayed with us, we kept in touch swapping stories and having the craic about whose set was the best, the energy was still with us, the conclusion was that the buzz of the weekend was far too special to be a once off.
"The Trip to Tipp is back and it needs to stay, I got in touch with CWB.ie and they secured the dates for 2019.
"Ken Rice and the ICO are on board to create some magic and our first announcement for 2019 is Sultans of Ping – a true cult band of the 90s, along with Mundy, The Frank and Walters and many others – it’s going to be all of the magic of this September and a hell of a lot more.”
Trip to Tipp Weekender Early Bird Weekend tickets are €139.50 incl. booking fee and are on sale on Eventbrite only at this discounted price until 31st December 2018.
