PIC: US band got the Irish flag badly mixed up at their gig in the 3Arena last night

Oh dear…

The Country to Country festival is taking place this weekend at the 3Arena and country music fans are out in force to see some of their favourite artists.

Over the course of the three day event which began last night, fans will get to hear the likes of  Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Reba McEntire.

Zac Brown Band headlined the gig last night, and much to the delight of fans, they absolutely brought brought the house down with a quality performance.

But at some point during their gig, they had a technical malfunction, because they accidentally put a picture of the Union Jack on the screen behind them instead of an Irish flag.

In fairness to them, they’re playing in the UK on Sunday so it may have just been a simple mistake… well, we hope it was.
