New outdoor festival to hit Dublin in July

The Summer Series 2017 could be the festival of the year.

MCD have announced the new festival that will take place at Trinity Collge this summer from July 6-11.

The series will be opened by jazz and blues Grammy winner Gregory Porter on the first night followed by Irish star James Vincent McMorrow playing in his home town.

Bell X1 will take to the stage on the Saturday night on the back of new album, Arms, and alt-rock superstars Pixies follow them on Sunday.

The penultimate night will see Northern rockers Two Door Cinema Club perform with alt-J hitting the stage to close the series, playing their first show in Ireland since 2015.

Certainly something for everyone in the line-up!
