According to the Festival Director, Ollie Breslin, "The streets, stages and some unexpected venues in Waterford will be transformed this October by a creative collision of the Arts. The 2016 programme is our biggest to date and represents another move forward for Imagine and the arts scene in Waterford, which is abuzz with talent and new energy"
Speaking at the launch, in Waterford city last night, Journalist and author Manchán Magan said, "The Imagine 2016 line-up is like a roll-call of the best of what Ireland is becoming - a socially inclusive, outward-looking society, keen to learn about local heritage and nature, to widen our horizons towards an international future and to let our hair down and party from time to time."
"A plethora of music gigs will be on offer through the festival with highlights including performances from 'Malojian' fresh from their summer performing at Glastonbury, Irish artists Little Green Cars, BBC Folks Awards duo 'Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker' and the festival will play host to the final farewell gig of the internationally renowned band 'Richmond Fontaine."
