Taking place on the picturesque Arranmore Island just off the coast of Co. Donegal, Swell Festival have announced the stage times for their inaugural bash this weekend.
Featuring a bill of quality musical talent (with a heavy North West focus) the island gears up to host the likes of The Wood Burning Savages, Freak’s and In Their Thousands. The weekender will be taking over the grounds of Arranmore Holiday Village and is only a short distance away from the Ferry Port. (That’s right! As if it didn’t seem obvious, a boat is required to attend the festival.)

As if the music, art and comedy wasn’t enough there is also other unique activities to be getting up to. Including kayaking, sailing & banana boating at sea! It looks set to be a quality weekend if you ask us.
Finally, if you need any more convincing, we’ll leave up to one of our favourite videos of the year and organiser Marty to tell you about the Swell.
If you are planning to go to the festival and still need to organise travel, please get in touch immediately with Peter at interviews@chordblossom.co.uk as there is very limited spaces on a mini-bus leaving Friday from Strabane at 4pm/returning Monday.
