MILK-LGBT Music Festival-14th August
Get your diamond encrusted wellington boots at the ready for Europe’s first ever outdoor music and arts festival for the LGBT community. Taking place on Saturday 14th August, in the majestic surroundings of Ballinlough Castle, which will be transformed into a technicoloured dream world for one day of outrageous gay fun, think Wizard Of Oz meets Alice in Wonderland! From 12noon to 12am, 5,000 of Ireland’s gay community and their beautiful straight friends will strut their stuff, as a Mardi Gras Style atmosphere takes over! Join your host the Queen herself, Panti who will oversee the days entertainment as the official MC on the Main Stage which will be graced by the presence of some of the hottest acts around including Sophie Ellis Bextor and Alexandra Burke to name but a few. 80’s icons Bananarama and Samantha Fox will join Right Said Fred in bringing it right back with some 80’s pop classics! While International DJs including Roisin Murphy, Seb Fontaine, Bodyrox & Luciana, Andy Moor and many more will have crowds dancing to their beat at the Pink Palace. With over 55 performers on the day from Irish newcomers The Heathers to the utterly fantabulous Von Trash, comedy sensation the hilarious Katherine Lynch and lots lots more, we are sure you will find something to suit everyone.
Hosted by Proud Productions Limited, set up by two lesbian friends – the ethos of MILK Festival is to create a unique festival environment which is open to anyone from any community encouraging the culture of Inclusiveness, Acceptance and Diversity. To increase visibility of the LGBT community within the wider Irish and Global community while communicating the message of mutual respect to appreciate others for what they are, how they are different and respect them for such. Â
