12 Amazing Acts You Simply Can’t Miss At This Weekend’s Beatyard Festival

One of Dublin's most anticipated summer events takes place this weekend as Bodytonic brings the The Beatyard Festival to Dún Laoghaire.

Three days of outstanding musical and comedy acts from home and abroad mean that there really is nowhere else to be throughout the August Bank Holiday weekend. Throw in amazing food and interactive workshops galore and Beatyard has all the makings of the best weekend of the summer.

Sounds amazing, right? Well, good news. A very limited number of tickets are still available for the festival which takes place this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The only thing is you'll have to act fast to avoid disappointment!

If you're not already convinced, here are some of the acts you simply won't want to miss...

DJ Jenny Greene

One of Ireland's favourite DJs takes to the stage on Friday bringing her catalogue of 90s classics with her.

The Jacksons

The legendary brothers make their first ever Irish appearance on Friday, along with their endless list of hits from the past six decades including Blame It On The Boogie, ABC and I Want You Back.

Le Boom

The Dublin duo bring their homegrown flavour of electronic dance to the Bodytonic main stage on Saturday at 5pm.

Sugarhill Gang

The Jacksons aren't the only high profile U.S. act to rock up in Dún Laoghaire this weekend. The Rapper's Delight group should attract a large crowd to the Bodytonic stage at 3.45pm on Sunday.

Django Django

The British group headline the Bodytonic main stage on Saturday.

Little Dragon

PJ Gallagher

PJ will be joining Daniel Lambert for Banter talks on Saturday.

Bingo Loco

Described as 'the runaway, bastard child of traditional bingo complete with rave rounds, conga lines and dance offs.'

Probably not the same kind your granny is used to.

Loah

The soulful singer/songwriter will kick off Sunday's performances on the Bodytonic stage at 1.15pm.
