Organisers said: “For obvious reasons we have again reimagined our festival this year and have decided to postpone most of it until October, when hopefully it will be safe to attend live indoor events.

“We plan to present an exciting array of events across all genres between 15th & 25th October so please put these dates in your diary and watch this space!

“In the meantime however we are delighted to announce a series of outdoor events this August. These include the commissioning of two outdoor large murals in the Fairfield, the third edition of Skibbereen Feelgood Festival and Sundays in the Park, a very special series of 4 outdoor concerts to brighten up your month.”
