About This Event

All-female trad supergroup BIIRD brings their electric, high-energy live show to the festival stage for an unmissable evening. Moving the fiery spirit of a traditional Irish session into a grand concert setting, the eleven-piece collective crafts an extraordinary soundscape of driving fiddles, soaring harps, delicate flutes, and modern synths anchored by powerful percussion. Attendees will feel the palpable magic and seamless camaraderie flowing through the band as vibrant vocal harmonies and virtuoso instrumentation trade off in a zealous, joyful celebration. From quiet acoustic moments to room-shaking rhythmic peaks, the performance offers an immersive, heat-generating escape from the January chill. Grounded in rich heritage yet radically contemporary, BIIRD redefines the boundaries of modern Irish music with raw passion and effortless skill.
