Bring on the summer!
Sea Sessions has confirmed that the third and final headliner for the 2018 festival will be Rudimental.
The drum ‘n’ bass four piece will perform on Sunday 24 June, alongside Dizzee Rascal on Friday 22 and Walking On Cars on Saturday 23.
Festival organisers have also added to the line-up Everything Everything, Hannah Wants, Dusky, Roots Manuva, Hudson Taylor, Le Galaxie, The Blizzards, Versatile, Elaine Mai, The Hot Sprockets, Slow Place Like Home and many more.
Taking place in Bundoran, Donegal, 2018 will mark the festival’s 10th anniversary, but tickets are probably going to go fast since they sold out weeks in advance for the last three years.
Winner of IMRO Festival of the year at the 2017 IMRO awards alongside picking up the gong for Festival of the year at the Excellence in local Government Awards, Sea Sessions has established itself as one of the seminal dates on the Irish Festival circuit.
Commenting on the announcement, festival director Ray O’Donoghue said: “We like to think we always have a quality lineup but we really feel this year has a lot of strength in depth.”
“From massive international names like Rudimental and Dizzee Rascal to really great Irish acts like Hudson Taylor and Ryan McMullan we think there’s something in it for everyone. The site capacity has been upped, the festival site has been extended, there’ll be usual Surf and Sports plus some great surprises like our brand new Astoria Stage named after the now demolished Astoria Ballroom.”
With more to be announced, the current list of acts so far are:
Dizzee Rascal, Walking On Cars, Rudimental, Everything Everything, Hannah Wants, Dusky, Roots Manuva, Hudson Taylor, Le Galaxie, Fekky, The Blizzards, Versatile, DJ Yoda (AV Show), Wild Youth, Greg Wilson, Stomptown Brass, Fabio, Ryan Mc Mullan, The Hot Sprockets, DJ Deece, David Keenan, Wille & The Bandits, Slow Place Like Home, Waldorf & Cannon, Amber & The Bear, Marc O Reilly, Get Down Edits, DJ Mek, Brave Giant, New Valley Wolves, Elaine Mai, The Clandestinos, 1000 Beasts, Vernon Jane, Thumper, Alan Finan, Colin Perkins, A Different Animal, Order of The Mess and Ciara Brady.
Early Bird tickets have now sold out but tickets are still available from all Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.
Priced from €109.90 for 3 days and €134.90 including 4 nights camping, limited single day tickets are also available from €49.50, Surfer Bar (VIP) Upgrades from €50 extra plus Glamping options.
