A BRAND new country music festival is coming to Ireland next year in two different locations. Harvest 2017 will bring over 30 music acts to Enniskillen Airport, Co Fermanagh, and Westport House in Co Mayo on Saturday August 26 and 27.

Award-winning US country star Miranda Lambert and Liverpool-born country music singing sensation Nathan Carter have been confirmed as the headliners for the festival, which will also feature plenty of home-grown talent including Cliona Hagan, Pete Kennedy and Hurricane Highway.

Ward Thomas and Jake Carter have also been added to the line-up, which will be the same at both locations, with more acts to be announced over the coming weeks. There will also be dedicated dancing sessions over the weekend, plus a food village, boutique camping and camper van facilities which will include family-friendly zones.
