After years of sell-out shows, Ímar are bringing their very own festival to Kings Place for the first time. The band couldn’t be more excited to bring a killer line-up featuring the boundary-pushing creative force of Astro Bloc, rising stars of the trad scene The Canny Band, an intimate conversation with Ímar themselves about life on the road, workshops, headline gigs with Kinnaris Quintet, the incredible voices of Paul McKenna and Beth Malcom, and Irish dance superstar David Geaney.

Frigg
Frigg has captivated audiences worldwide with their fusion of Nordic folk music and various Western folk styles, a sound that the world music media has coined "nordgrass," referring to the band's bluegrass influences.
