Delorentos are under orders for Dublin races

Delorentos and Kila are among the names announced for next month’s Dublin Racing Festival.

The two-day premium racing event returns to Leopardstown Racecourse on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 February.

Topping the music bill on day one are Choice Music Prize winners, Delorentos.

Having released six studio albums to date, the Dublin rockers have become one of Ireland’s most popular live acts whose music has been gracing Irish airwaves since 2005.

Their new album True Surrender has been hailed by some critics as their finest work to date and the band have recently completed a sold out Irish tour.

Trad legends Kila will headline day two at the Dublin Racing Festival, bringing their infectious high energy live set to Leopardstown Racecourse.

Hugely successful internationally as well as in their native Ireland, Kila have set the bar for electrical live performances and have brought Dublin’s traditional music firmly into the 21st century.

Also featuring on the music bill over the weekend will be a DJ set from RTE’S Doireann Garrihy on Saturday, while street performance puppeteers The Chancy Brothers bring some classic Irish folk and trad to the audience as they rove throughout the racecourse over the weekend.

Advanced general admission tickets are €30 and €35 on the day with limited premium level tickets available at €60. Gates open on both days at 11am with the first race away at 12:50pm.
