Here are five reasons not to miss Castlepalooza this July. #CP16
1. The magical setting
How often will you get the chance to party the weekend in a 17th century castle?
Set in beautiful ancient oak woods, Charleville Castle is a truly special setting for a music festival.
Castlepalooza ticket holders also have exclusive daily access inside the castle where there are art and film exhibitions; workshops and some surprise performances.
2. Chill out to the sweet sounds of Caribou
The weekend kicks off with a stellar headline act; Caribou. Also set to take the stage on Friday are Daphni, Like Chandeliers, Rosa Nutty and many more great acts.

3. Jam out to Jurassic 5
These guys are an absolute must-see at Castlepalooza.
Akil, Zaakir, Marc 7, DJ Nu-Mark, Chali 2na and Cut Chemist are the good stuff when it comes to hip hop. They came together in the early nineties in a place called The Red October Chemical Storage Facility or as Cut Chemist called it ‘a side room in my mother’s house.’

4. Hear Cat Power’s incredible live vocals
The American singer-songwriter is known for her emotional performances, and her gorgeous selection of indie rock songs are guaranteed to give you that summer feeling.

5. Watch Villagers close the show on Sunday night
Round off a fantastic weekend of music by watching Villagers take the stage.
Conor O’Brien plays every single instrument on every single track on his third album Darling Arithmetic. If you’re feeling bold, take a sip every time he switches from guitar to keyboard and the rest during his live set. But cut out the messing when he plays Courage. That’s when it gets serious.
