AROUND 50,000 people are expected to flock to Kerry this summer for a new seven-day international festival.

World music festival takes off with Celtic flair

Headlining the inaugural World Fleadh will be acts like the Gipsy Kings from France, Carlos Nunez from Spain and La Bottine Souriante from Quebec, with Ireland represented by acts like Kila, Lunasa and Iarla O’Lionard, making it the biggest showcase for professional Celtic music artists in Ireland.

What the festival’s promoters hope will make it special is the outdoor venue overlooking Ballybunion beach planned for some of the bigger concerts.
