Bulmers – brings the Best of Irish back to Leopardstown this Summer

Bulmers Live at Leopardstown returns this summer and is going all in on homegrown talent, championing Irish music and arts.

Across five Thursdays throughout June and July, Leopardstown Racecourse will welcome a line-up showcasing the best Irish music alongside exhilarating horseracing. 

Kicking off on Thursday, 11th June with a double-header of two of Ireland’s genuinely most accomplished vocalists–Róisín O and Shobsy–this is one not to be missed. 

The following Thursday, 18th June sees Leopardstown welcome the inimitable Irish alt-pop band Soda Blonde to the stage. 

Next month’s line-up welcomes all-female trad supergroup BIIRD on Thursday, 16th July. 

There will be a further two Bulmers Live at Leopardstown nights, on 9th and 23rd July, with music line-ups to be announced soon. 

The refreshed Bulmers Live at Leopardstown site layout features a vibrant mix of entertainment beyond the main stage, including local food trucks and stalls, the Bulmers bar and garden area, street performers, buskers, trad sessions, Bodhrán workshops and more, celebrating the very best of Irish culture.
