Winner of Best New Festival at the Irish Festival Awards 2011, Forbidden Fruit promises to be one of this summer's most exciting festivals, returning for another Bank Holiday feast of music, art, fashion and comedy. Extended to 3 days and 5 stages, Forbidden Fruit boasts an impressive line-up with iconic as well as upcoming artists and each day's line-up takes a slightly different musical twist from an electronic bill on Saturday to an indie/folk bill on Monday with Sunday somewhere in between! Don't miss out on this year's only city-based festival!The beautiful surrounds of Kilmainham's Royal Hospital provide an idyllic backdrop for this festival. This two-day city based event combines music, the arts and comedy in a laid-back and relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of Electric Picnic in the early days.
