Wild Youth's Conor Can't Wait To Finally Hear A Crowd Sing Back

Wild Youth's Conor O'Donohoe is afraid of one thing when they make a live festival music return.
It's not the queue for the toilets!
It's not losing the ability to carry four pints from the bar!
It's not hitting a bum note!
What I'm really worried about Fergal is the crowd NOT singing back the songs! It's our first chance to play our new songs to a crowd and that is so exciting but we hope they'll know the tunes!
Conor tells Fergal D'Arcy all about Ireland’s first music festival in SIXTEEN MONTHS.

The gig will take place at Royal Hospital Kilmainham Dublin on Saturday July 3rd.
It will be the country's first music festival in almost 16 months.
The event will have a capacity of 3,500 in pods.
500 free tickets have been set aside for frontline health care workers as a gesture of thanks for their hard work and dedication during the pandemic.
Rapid testing will take place beforehand with social distancing at 1 metre during the concert.
Denise Chaila, Sharon Shannon, Wyvern Lingo and Lyra are also set to perform with Gavin James topping the bill and The 2 Johnnies doing MC duties on the day.
