We are delighted to welcome Ash for a fantastic live concert on the Saturday night of The Festival. There will again be a Free Shuttle Bus from Town Centre before and after gig.

With seven studio album releases and a run of thirteen Top 40 singles like ‘Girl From Mars’, ‘GoldFinger’ and ‘Oh Yeah’, ASH have cemented themselves as one of the all-time greatest Irish bands.

ASH recently announced the re-issued newly re-mastered splatter vinyl of two of their beloved albums, 1977 and Free All Angels.

1977, the band’s spectacular debut album, was a defining record for ’90s guitar music, reaching No.1 in the Official UK Albums Chart, and going to achieve platinum status. Its singles ‘Girl From Mars’, ‘Kung Fu’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Angel Interceptor’ and ‘Oh Yeah’ remain staples of the band’s live show, as they still ring out at sold-out shows and in festival headline slots.

Free All Angels was the third smash hit album from Ash, and their second with guitarist Charlotte Hatherley. The album again reached No.1 in the UK and has since become a platinum record. It birthed ‘Shining Light’, ‘Burn Baby Burn’, ‘Sometimes’, ‘There’s A Star’, ‘Candy’ and Walking Barefoot’.

Performance Times:

Support act Dead Raze takes to the stage at 9pm – Ash to be on stage approx 10pm.

The Queen of the lakes 2023 will be held in the Credit Union Pavilion at Ballinrobe Racecourse on Sunday 30th July. Tickets are available at Martin Murphy Newsagent.

Fireworks will provide the Festival Finale following the crowning of the Queen of The Lakes at Ballinrobe Racecourse. We hope to see you all there!
