This year marks the 12th edition of Forbidden Fruit Festival!
The first day of this iconic festival took place on the 1st June of the Bank Holiday weekend.
Day 2 is set to take place on Sunday in the heart of the city centre, set against the backdrop of Dublin’s Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
Sunday’s lineup is scorching hot, featuring the long-awaited return of Nelly Furtado, gracing Irish shores after 23 years, alongside Barry Can’t Swim and Overmono.
From nostalgic throwbacks to cutting-edge beats, this weekend will be overflowing with the freshest sounds.
Don’t let the name fool you; DJ BORING’s sets are anything but mundane. With vibrant energy and undeniable passion, Tristan Hallis delivers every time.
