Get ready to ROCK!
The Trip to Tipp made a massive return last September in the form of the reinvented and reinvigorated Féile Classical.
Two sold-out electrifying concerts entertaining over 20,000 people in the Mecca that is Semple Stadium, with all performances accompanied by the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
And this morning, on The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show, curator Tom Dunne announced a return to the Premier County venue this September (Friday 21st & Saturday 22nd) for Tipp Classical, a new and expanded two-day festival catering for up to 30,000 music fans.
The lineup will be a mix of classic 90’s and contemporary artists, curated alongside the Irish Chamber Orchestra’s tributes to some of Ireland's biggest names in music, giving the festival a much broader appeal and longevity.
