The Temple House Music Festival is coming back. After winning the Best New Festival Award at the European Festival Awards this month, the County Sligo get together have announced this year’s event will take place between June 10th – 12th (meaning it’ll be that little bit warmer this year).

Early Bird tickets go on sale Friday, Feb 4th from TicketMaster.ie priced €99 until March 6th before moving up to €120 after that. Lots more names and details to come but speaking from experience, the Temple House folks know exactly what they’re doing and this is one Irish festival you don’t want to miss in 2011. Keep an eye on their official website templehousefestival.com for updates.
