Bell X1, Tones And I, and Fat Freddy’s Drop to perform at Galway’s iconic venue in July 2023
Galway International Arts Festival and Róisín Dubh this morning announced a number of acts who will perform at the Heineken Big Top next July.
Bell X1 make a welcome return to the Galway International Arts Festival stage on Friday 28 July for what is sure to be one of the best live gigs of the summer. One of the great Irish bands and firm crowd favourite who always deliver a great performance, audiences can expect to hear hits such as Rocky Took a Lover, The Great Defector, The End is Nigh and Flame amongst others.
Fat Freddy’s Drop are regarded as one of the great live acts. Combining techno, house, soul, dub, reggae, funk rhythm and blues they have built a sizeable following of Fred heads both at home and internationally. With the Guardian newspaper described them as a “funk machine” and a “must see live gig”, this is a night not to be missed by music fans.
Fat Freddy’s Drop play the Heineken Big Top on the Thursday 20 July.
Galway International Arts Festival has already announced that one of the UK’s best loved bands, Kaiser Chiefs, will play the Heineken Big Top on Thursday 27 July. Heineken Big Top audiences can look forward to '00s-era favourites, like "Ruby" and "I Predict a Riot", which was featured on NME's "Greatest Indie Anthems Ever" countdown.
