⭐ SATURDAY NIGHT MAIN ACT ANNOUNCEMENT ⭐
We’re thrilled to welcome Derek Ryan to the stage at the Tubbercurry Music Festival on Saturday 29th August!
Hailing from Garryhill, Co. Carlow, Derek has become one of Irish country music’s biggest success stories. From winning All-Ireland bodhrán titles in his early days to achieving chart-topping albums and sold-out tours across Ireland, the UK, Australia and beyond, his journey has been nothing short of incredible.
A former member of pop group D-Side, Derek returned home to follow his country music dream — and it paid off. With fan favourites like “God’s Plan”, “Hold On To Your Hat” and “Down On Your Uppers”, he has earned a reputation as one of the finest singer-songwriters in the genre.
From performing at Áras an Uachtaráin to headlining huge festivals like Farmers Bash, Derek continues to reach new heights.
🎶 Don’t miss Derek Ryan live in Tubbercurry — this is country music at its very best! Tickets go on sale 20th March!
