Festival goers can expect a weekend filled with hit after hit as Ireland’s greatest musicians take to the stage with fan favourites from The Stunning’s “Brewing Up A Storm” , The 4 of Us’ “Mary” , Jerry Fish’s “Celebrate”, The Frank and Walters’ “After All” to Declan O’Rourke’s “Galileo” alongside many more! Saturday 24 August The Stunning headline The Playing Fields on Saturday 24 August following a brilliant 2018 which saw the band release a number one album “Twice Around the World”, two singles which burnt up the radio and a host of sold out shows and headline slots at festivals. The Stunning are most definitely back, sounding as fresh as ever. Joining The Stunning on Saturday 24 August 2019 are The Frank and Walters and Jerry Fish. One of Ireland’s most recognisable alternative rock bands, The Frank and Walters continue to sell out venues across the UK, Europe and the US, and their records, both new and classic, sell worldwide. Jerry Fish, who has released a catalogue of hits from his multi platinum selling albums, brings his famously energetic performance to The Playing Fields stage. Sunday 25 August Northern Irish legends The 4 Of Us are set to headline The Playing Fields on Sunday 25 August. The 4 Of Us shot to early fame with their debut album “Songs for the Tempted”, which featured the massive hits “Mary” and “Drag My Bad Name Down”. The 4 Of Us were recently listed No.7 in TV3’s ‘Top 10 Best Irish Bands Of All Time’ and the Murphy brothers have notched up an enviable catalogue of timeless songs, including six top 20 Irish charting albums. Declan O’Rourke, The 2 Johnnies and the Dublin Gospel Choir will also take to The Playing Fields festival stage along with headliners The 4 Of Us on Sunday 25 August.

Event Details
Culture Night is an annual public event that celebrates culture, creativity and the arts. This year Culture Night Kildare celebrates its 10th anniversary and we plan to celebrate it with an even bigger and greater programme.
It will take place on Friday 20th September 2019 and, exclusively in county Kildare, also on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd. On Culture Night Weekend, arts and cultural organisations and venues of all shapes and sizes, including national cultural institutions, local groups and heritage sites, extend their opening hours to allow for increased access to the public and special and unique events and workshops are specifically programmed at participating locations. Everything is available free of charge.
Culture Night happens because many people share a vision and enthusiasm for enjoying, celebrating and promoting creativity and culture. In addition to single events, Kildare County Council are also supporting community projects that will contribute to the promotion of the programme in the weeks prior to Culture Night. They must involve local groups (such as GAA clubs, schools and so on) and produce a visible outcome in one or more town’s centres. The projects selected will be awarded with a €500 prize.
Kildare County Council support all these groups coordinating the programme, sharing information and knowledge and covering some of the costs.
Every organisation or group is invited to plan their own event and to promote them locally. If you or your group would like to take part don’t hesitate to get in touch. We can help you find the right venue or the right group.
The deadline to register an event or a community project is Friday June 14th.

“Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold… safe return doubtful.”
Shackleton tells the story of the sinking of the ship Endurance on the Antarctic’s icy Weddell Sea in 1916, and the subsequent escape of the Irish expedition leader Ernest Shackleton and his crew from the Antarctic over a period of eighteen months, finally arriving to safety at the whaling station in Stromness on the South Atlantic Island of South Georgia.
Born close to the village of Kilkea, in south Kildare in 1874, Ernest Shackleton is renowned for his immense contribution to exploration and geographical discovery. This visually spectacular retelling of one of the greatest survival tales ever is told by the acclaimed Blue Raincoat ensemble using original footage and scaled puppetry.
