Macroom Music Fest set to rekindle memories of Mountain Dew and the late, great Rory Gallagher

THE spirit of Macroom’s famous Mountain Dew Festival will be revived through a new one-day musical extravaganza taking place in the Town Square on Saturday, June 24.

Macroom Music Fest will echo the very first open-air music festival in Ireland, which ran from 1976 to 1982, bringing a host of top names to Macroom – including the late, great and much-lamented Rory Gallagher.

The event, the first on this scale to take place in the mid-Cork town since the opening of the new bypass, will feature a trio of top Irish headline acts – the Frank and Walters, Riptide Movement and Mundy

One of the most recognisable acts to have emerged from the vibrant Cork music scene, the ‘Franks’ have enjoyed huge domestic and internationals success over a career spanning more than three-decades.mountain dew gifts
