Wild Youth @ RiverFest Easter edition
Event Information
About this event
RiverFest music festival is back after its incredible rise up until covid restrictions is back sooner than you think on April 16-17th! For the first time since 2019 we welcome you back to the unrivalled atmosphere that is RiverFest!
Wild Youth will headline main stage on the Saturday with many more acts to be announced!
No doubt a band currently in the midst of a stratospheric ascendance, Wild Youth have exploded onto the scene with their infinitely catchy and buoyant brand of indie-pop.
Homegrown, humble fun is the main preoccupation of the Irish quartet comprised of lead vocalist David Whelan, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Conor O'Donohoe, lead guitarist Ed Porter and drummer Callum McAdam whose collective self assured swagger has caught eyes and ears everywhere.
A penchant for “sad bangers”, aka blood pounding choruses, heart stompingly gorgeous melodies, and deft lyricism, as well as the Dublin outfit’s hip shaking moves and peppy vigour, means it is music designed to fill huge arenas or to be heard crackling out over a sun soaked festival stage. And their far reaching influences are evident: from the kinetic funkinged arrangements of Prince, to the boundary pushing angst of The Walkmen and Tame Impala’s hypnotic psychpop a melting pot of innovative sounds run through their tracks.And undeniably, their prowess lies in their live showmanship, a commitment to spectacle,energy, and good, good times!
