Another summer music festival

THE battle between the country’s two leading concert promoters is about to heat up with a mystery music festival added to this summer’s calendar.

Yesterday MCD Productions flagged its intention to host a major new three-day concert in Kildare on the weekend of June 15, a month before its Oxegen festival.

It will be set against the backdrop of the historic Castletown House in Celbridge and aims to attract 25,000 people a day.
