KT Tunstall and Jose Gonzalez are among the big names set to perform at the Night and Day Festival next summer.
The festival, now entering its fourth year, takes place from 27-29 of June at Lough Key Forest Park, Co. Roscommon.
Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, who catapulted herself into the international music scene in 2005 with her classic debut album Eye to the Telescope, which spawned international hits like "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" will take to the Queen Medb Stage.
Swedish sing-songwriter Jose Gonzalez will take to the Queen Medb Stage for his only Irish performance of 2025. Gonzalez rose to national success in the early 2000s, first leading the indie rock band Junip before becoming a critically acclaimed solo artist after releasing his debut solo album “Veneer” featuring his acoustic version of “Heartbeats”, by fellow Swedes “The Knife”.
Irish acts including The Stunning, Lisa Hannigan and the Neil Young Tribute act Harvest, will also appear on the Queen Medb Stage.
Acts taking to the Luna stage include Belfast-based folk singer and former Northern Ireland Mercury Prize best album winner Joshua Burnside, Irish multi-instrumentalist Daithi, druid rockers Bog Bodies, Dublin-based electro noise act Yard, slouch rock rising star Skinner as well as Frank, Shark School, James Keegan and Jester.
Festival Director Brendan Hurley said: “Night and Day 2025 will be the biggest and best one yet. We’ve been building our profile and reputation steadily over the last few years and this is reflected in the quality of the international acts that we will host in 2025.
“Another testament to our continued growth will be the addition of a third music stage at next year’s event. Full details will be released in the coming weeks but we’re very excited by the fact that the new stage will provide something totally different for festival attendees to explore.
“We would like to thank both Roscommon County Council and Coillte for their continued support of Night and Day as we look to build on the success of three great festivals,” he said.
MD of Coillte Forest, Mark Carlin said: “We are delighted to continue to support the Night and Day festival and to welcome visitors, young and old alike, to experience the beautiful Lough Key Forest Park, one of Coillte’s 12 forest parks and key visitor destinations in the country.
"Coillte is committed to delivering the multiple benefits of forests for climate, nature, wood and people and this family-friendly festival is an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the music, culture and art, combined with the beauty of nature in the unique surroundings of this beautiful recreational forest in the heart of Roscommon.”
