Damien Rice announced for Cork as Sounds From A Safe Harbour releases first acts for 2019 event

The Sounds From A Safe Harbour festival in Cork has announced the first of its headline acts. Canadian singer Feist, Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice, and Bryce and Aaron Dessner from The National will be among those playing an event taking place from September 12 to 15.

As with the previous two festivals, in 2017 and 2015, the Dessner brothers have been hands-on in organising an event that was originally conceived by former Cork Opera House CEO Mary Hickson, and also involves such artistic luminaries as actor Cillian Murphy and playwright Enda Walsh.
