The new big top marquee will ensure all festival fans will get to see the amazing line up of top Irish acts in the comfort of a sheltered setting.

The festival organisers this year have secured the best of Irish line for the BMF due to take place over the bank holiday weekend 1st & 2nd June.
Headlining on Saturday 1st June is Dan McCabe a huge homegrown Irish favourite with over 60k followers on Instagram. Dan had risen to fame during lockdown posting videos to help escape the gloom and bring a bit of joy to the country, little did he know these recordings would be viewed over 12 million times far beyond Ireland, bringing him to the attention of RTE producers. This led to his performing The Parting Glass after the Presidential New Years Speech in 2020. Dan has continued to grow his audience, enjoying his mix of Irish Folk music, and with the release of his post-COVID debut album ‘Dan McCabe – Songs for Ireland’ his popularity has continued to soar! BMF are delighted to bring Dan to Donegal.
On Sunday 2nd June the line-up includes the Irish star headliner Darren Kiely from County Cork, who will be coming to BMF following a number of sell out shows across Europe, the UK and Ireland in the weeks before he brings his unique sound to BMF.

Darren’s songs have hit Ireland’s Viral Charts and include “How Could You Love Me”, “Ella” and “Time to Leave”. He has had over 6.5 million total global streams under his belt, with 3.2 million likes and 283k followers on Tik Tok – BMF are delighted to be bringing him to Donegal’s if not Ireland’s premier music festival!
Also on the same Sunday bill is another major Irish act, Chasing Abbey, a ‘Trad House’ act not afraid to mix up Irish traditional music with their fusion of dance pop sound. They combine all of their talents as multi-instrumentalist, vocalists and producers to create a unique sound that is Chasing Abbey.
