The Great Friday Festival takes place next Friday the 21st of March, run by Great Friday Event Management, in County Limerick.
For the last five years, the Great Friday Party has been held in Limerick city. It has always been a fantastic day, looked forward to by many. Last years event saw three live music acts, and 300 guests enjoy the environment of goodwill that people have come to expect from Great Friday.
With growth in attendees increasing as it has been, we decided this year to move the event outdoors and increase the emphasis on live music. In looking to Limericks live music scene, we found immense support for the project, and the result is a line up that showcases Limericks best bands. The line up is

We Should Be Dead
The Fewer The Better
Idle Hands
Walter Mitty and The Realists
Seneca
Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters
Verfield
Blackstar
Lavelle
Confused Nation
Qazi Qazi Khan
Benoit
Maciek

DJ Lego
Kav

Where the event takes place has been a hotly discussed subject over the last number of weeks and the location has been kept a secret by the landowners and organisers. The first act takes the stage at 11AM that morning and bands perform until 9:30PM. The DJ’s take the stage at 9:30PM and will be playing until 12AM. A bus service will be running from Arthurs Quay Park every 30 minutes from 10AM till 9PM to shuttle people to the event and the bus service runs until everyone gets home. Food and minerals will be available to purchase on the grounds courtesy of contracted caterers and the event is a BYOB (Bring your own Beer) event. Tickets are priced at a reasonable €20 and are available to buy from Bakers Bar or by contacting greatfriday@gmail.com.
Profits from the day will be going to Worthy Cause to support the building of the Self Help Community Centre in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
