Additional night for Open House

Nu-folk titans Mumford & Sons will headline the Festival Marquee in Belfast on Monday, September 6, joined by rising Americana star Lissie and exciting new English folk artist, Andrew Davie.

Belfast’s own folk royalty, The Lowly Knights have also been added to this year’s 12th Open House Festival, which will run from September 6 to 12, sponsored by Coors Light for a third year running.

Open House, the "not in a muddy field festival", takes place in venues throughout the arts and cultural flavoured Cathedral Quarter in Belfast's city centre, including a large marquee in Custom House Square. It's already shaping up to be quite tasty with Wilco, Seasick Steve, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Felice Brothers, Dave Rawlings Machine, The Low Anthem, and Field Music all previously announced.

Open House also features Chillifest - a fiery food & music phenomenon within Open House festival - featuring funky festival sideshows and Ireland's only hot chilli pepper eating contest. Hayseed Dixie are confirmed as the ChilliFest headliners for the afternoon of Sunday, September 12. All chilli heads are hereby given fit and proper notice.

More festival acts are still to be announced, including a full programme of Irish traditional gigs and pub sessions. For the most up-to-date line-up, further festival information and ticket details simply visit www.coorsopenhousefestival.com
