Quiz: How much do you know about Irish music festivals?

Music festival All Together Now continues tomorrow in Co Waterford.

IRISH MUSIC FESTIVALS have had their ups and downs over the years, and while Co Laois’ Electric Picnic can’t be reasonably compared to Coachella, it’s about as close as it gets.

Music festival All Together Now (ATN) began on Thursday, and is running until tomorrow at Curraghmore Estate, Co Waterford. Some 25,000 people are expected to have attended the event over the four days.

So, how much do you know about Irish music festivals?
