Mad Dog Mcrea can only be described as a pop-up festival - bursting with energy, coloUr, and an infectious mix of folk, rock and Celtic influences

Hailing from Plymouth and Donegal in Ireland the band has built a reputation for raucous live shows, blending original songs with traditional melodies and a dash of storytelling charm. Their sound is a unique fusion of foot-stomping rhythms, intricate musicianship, and wry, often humorous lyrics that transport audiences on a wild musical journey.

With a dedicated following and a history of playing major festivals and packed-out venues, Mad Dog Mcrea continue to bring their lively, genre-defying spirit to stages across the UK and beyond.
