Music, dance set for Chicago Gaelic Park’s Irish Fest | Entertainment News

The music lineup includes first-time CGP Irish Fest performers: Uillean piper/whistle player/composer Conor Mallon from Keady, Co. Armagh; the Co. Donegal-based modern folk group, Onoir; and the German-born, Irish-based multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter, Sina Theil. The Byrne Brothers, a multi-award-winning family band from Co. Donegal, have performed at CGP before but will make their festival debut.

Irish Fest 2024 will see the return of JigJam, the renowned bluegrass and Americana quartet from Co. Offaly, as well as Gaelic Brew, a Cork-based Irish trad-rock band. Local musicians The Larkin and Moran Brothers, Liam Durkin and The Dirty Wellies will also perform Irish favorites.

The inclusion of the rock cover band 4Cast and three tribute bands—One of These Nights (a tribute to the Eagles and their solo work), Dancing Queen: an ABBA Salute, and An Irish Heartbeat: A Musical Tribute to Van Morrison—will be sure to please a wide range of musical tastes.

The Bagpipes and Drums of the Emerald Society as well as The Shannon Rovers will also perform at Irish Fest 2024.
