U2 tribute band 'Rattle and Hum' will also be rocking out the Marquee on Portrane Green on Friday night.

For all the dog lovers out there (how could you not?) there will be a dog show where viewers can pay just €3 to view the various competitions.

Finally, on Sunday, from 6pm very popular The Show Off Sessions are presenting their most talented acts live from the outdoor stage.

Straight after that at 7.30pm the Donabate cover band DB Sound Collective will be playing a 2 hour set of acoustic, rock, pop, soul, reggae and country classics.
