The Heineken Green Energy Festival is going on the road this summer and will hold two simultaneous series of concerts in Cork and Galway over the June Bank Holiday weekend (June 2nd-June 5th). With a line-up that features some of the biggest and best names in the musical world as well as an extensive amount of top-pub gigs and special music seminars, these twin festivals just can't be missed.

Although it has been held exclusively in Dublin over the May Bank Holiday weekend since 1996, these two new festivals are a testament to the popularity of the musical names booked to perform.

In addition to the performances from the headline acts in the Munster Showgrounds, the Cork festival will also present a range of top gigs in the Half Moon Club and Nancy Spain's, as well as a host of live performances by bands in over thirty of the city's best loved pubs. The Galway festival will be held at the Castlegar Sports Grounds where the headliners will perform and also features a range a series of live performances around the city's pubs.

Van the Man will be treating both cities to his unsurpassable live act, which truly can't be missed. While man of the moment, Moby, still riding high in the charts with his Ride album will be rocking the venues with his eclectic mix of hip-hop and folk. Huge Irish favourites, The Counting Crows will be also be appearing, following on from their hugely successful Irish tour last month. Also on both bills are the marvellous Fun Lovin' Criminals.
