Reporter:
New dates have been announced for the inaugural Wild Roots Music and Adventure Festival.

Organisers of the family-friendly festival, which will include performances from the Kaiser Chiefs, Damien Dempsey, James Morrison, and King Kong Company, have also revealed that a host of new Irish acts will be joining the line-up.
Amongst the new acts announced, Afro-Irish singer, Tolü Makay, whose new single “Used To Be” was released this year will be performing. As will, Dublin hip-hop group Loud Motive, Galway rapper Celaviedmai and the pop-funk sensation Toshín. The hip-hop acts JyellowL and KAÉ have also been confirmed.
Waterford Is Blessed With Many Things..
Just one of those is the amazing food offering available throughout the city and county!
West Waterford Festival of Food is just one of the food festivals that has had to postpone their event this year however they have since developed Festival Spirit – a brand new event which runs from April 23rd-25th. Festival Spirit is a 3-day mini-series of virtual and physically distanced initiatives created to capture a sense of the famous festival.
This Friday on Drive Time with Aoibhin Fallon from 3-6pm, Aoibhin will be celebrating Festival Spirit throughout the show. She’ll be chatting to the organisers, some local producers and checking out some of the events that will take place over the weekend to keep the festival alive in our hearts, minds and appetites and to remind us that although things are different there is still so much that we can celebrate and enjoy!
This festival is more than just a music festival. Experience is key - experience the beauty of Lough Gill by sail boat, Stand up paddle, Kayak or for the less adventurous take a trip on the lake tour boat during the day or a boat party by night. Go for a hike, go rock climbing, do some yoga or chill out and watch a circus show.
In the evening sit back and watch James Morrison, The Kaiser Chiefs, King Kong Company, Jenny Greene, Soda Blonde, Daithi, Blindboy, Tolu Makay and many more.
Wildroots is the only festival of 2021 with a full line up!
