Mark Ronson and AIR headlining Dublin festival The Beatyard this August

Rory Cashin

Bananarama, you guys! BANANA-GOD DAMN-RAMA!

Ahem, sorry, we kinda lost the run of ourselves there for a second.

Taking place on August 5 and 6 in Dun Laoghaire, The Beatyard is back to brighten up your summer with a very solid mix of trendy faves, classic acts and chart-topping performers.

Mark Ronson and AIR are headlining the Saturday and Sunday respectively, while the likes of Candi Staton, Horse Meat Disco, Embrz and recent Choice Music Prize winners Rusangano Family will be filling up the supporting slots throughout the weekend.

All of that pales in significance to the arrival of quite possibly the greatest ’80s act ever to have existed.
