As part of deferred tri-centenary celebrations in Newport, County Mayo, the highly anticipated free open-air music event returns this June Bank Holiday weekend.

The FREE gig is set to feature a host of the best Irish musicians, songwriters and performers playing live on the quay of the stunning 300-year-old town, to commemorate its special anniversary.

Newport 300 was the umbrella title for a series of events which were scheduled to take place in 2020, prior to the global pandemic. Now, as restrictions have been lifted, the town is excited to announce new dates - just two years later than originally planned.

The line up for this music spectacular includes; Sharon Shannon, Mundy, Frances Black, Mary Coughlan, The Whistlin’ Donkeys and local talent ‘Coda’.

The locals are exuberant to see the line up reconfirmed and they are said to be looking forward to welcoming the acts and fans alike, from near and far, to their little town – where they will discover a hidden gem in the west of Ireland, just 10 minutes from the popular destination of Westport.

Register your interest for the event that will take place on Sunday, 5th June 2022 at newport300.com to stay up to date with times for performances, access, accommodation and parking information.
