Páirc Festival in Birmingham - the road closures for August Bank Holiday Irish music & culture event

Páirc Festival is back this the August Bank weekend with another great line-up to enjoy.

Held at the New Irish Centre in Kings Heath for the second year, the festival is on course to be the biggest event of its kind.

The headline acts have been confirmed as Van Morrison, The Waterboys, Mary Blackand Nathan Carter.
