Six new acts are heading to Tullamore this August…
Castlepalooza have announced some new additions to their 2014 line-up. The big news is that French electro artist Onra will be joining this year’s headliners at Charleville Castle.
The Paris-based beatmaker is one of the most respected DJs and producers in Europe and 2012 saw the release of his most recent LP ‘Chinoiseries, Pt. 2’, a sample-heavy fusion of his own hip-hop beats and pop music from his ancestral homeland of Vietnam. JOE’s seen him live a few times and his shows are always pretty epic so we’re excited by the announcement.
The five other acts added to the bill are Synaesthete (Percussion, Synth, Drums); Leni Morrison (Blues, Rock, Pop, Folk); Dear Desert (Soul, Pop); Sam Evans & The Jammerz (Singer, Songwriter, Urban, Jazz) and Alphabetical (Indie, Electro, Pop).
