Convergence at Lurgan Castle is set for Saturday August, 23, taking full advantage of the long Bank Holiday weekend and to let festival goers see the summer out with a bang!
Festival director Patricia Killoran said: “We want Convergence to be a festival for everyone and that’s reflected in the band choices we’ve made. We want to bring people of all ages together for a celebration of life, summer, great music and everything that goes with that. It’s all about fun, music and having a great time.”
She continues: “Being able to bring a band like The Magic Numbers to Lurgan fresh from playing Glastonbury is a dream come true and we’ve got an amazing venue that is so easy for people to get to and more importantly, get home from when the night’s over.”
Set in the grounds of Lurgan Castle, Convergence is set to see six bands and a DJ perform live over eight hours.
