“Live in the Marquee” returns to Offaly venue over February bank holiday weekend

J.J. Killeen’s in Shannonbridge is thrilled to announce the return of Live in the Marquee, an exciting weekend of live music, dancing, and entertainment taking place from January 31st to February 2nd 2025 during the February Bank Holiday.

After the overwhelming success of their inaugural festival last August, they’re bringing even more joy and energy back to Shannonbridge with a stellar line-up of performances under a spacious marquee.

Revisiting the spirit of the legendary Shannonbridge Carnival of the 1960s and 1970s, Live in the Marquee promises a weekend of all-dancing fun for people of all ages from 18 to 80! Last summer’s event brought the community together, with attendees ranging from young music enthusiasts to lively dancers in their 80s. This year’s festival is poised to build on that magic with three unforgettable nights of music and memories.

The 2025 Lineup:

• Friday, January 31st: Rebel Heart supported by Seanie & James

• Saturday, February 1st: Michael English supported by Jack Keogh

• Sunday, February 2nd: Live Forever Oasis Tribute supported by Colin Fahy

“This festival is about reliving the good times,” said Liam Fallon owner of J.J. Killeen’s. “We’re proud to bring back the community spirit, fun, and music that Shannonbridge has always been known for. Our last festival was a huge success and we’re delighted to build on that, giving people the chance to enjoy the first bank holiday of the year locally with some music and dancing.”

The event will be held in a large covered marquee adjacent to J.J. Killeens on Main Street, Shannonbridge, providing the perfect venue for a lively and immersive experience.

Tickets for Live in the Marquee Shannonbridge are available now at Tickets.ie, at J.J. Killeen’s Bar, and limited tickets will be available at the door each night.

Don’t miss the chance to kick off 2025 with this spectacular weekend of entertainment!
