Festival Watch | Forbidden Fruit
Forbidden Fruit is a brand spanking new Festival set to hit Dublin this summer and today’s the day when the line up will be announced. Start your engines Sirens, it’s gonna be big.
At 8pm tonight, the new Bulmers Forbidden Fruit Festival will announce the Line Up via their Facebook page facebook.com/forbiddenfruitfestival and with the clues they’ve been dropping via some clever video teasers it could be anybody from The Flaming Lips to Wild Beasts or Jamie XX.
It’s all very Ssssh… Secret Squirrel at the moment but whoever it is, the festival, run by POD promotions, set to take place June 4th & 5th at IMMA in Kilmainham, D8, promises International acts and DJ’s, three stages along with food markets, art exhibits and fashion stalls.
UPDATE: We attended the launch for Forbidden Fruit Festival tonight in Smithfield Fruit Market in Dublin 1. Sponsored by Bulmers and with plenty of Bulmers Pear and Berry on tap it was a chance to view the Festival’s maps of the apple shaped layout in the meadow at IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art) and get the first spark of festival fever for this summer. Most important was the Line Up announcement and we’re ridiculously excited to confirm that our predictions were correct and The Flaming Lips will headline!!
