Bob Dylan will headline the Irish music festival, London Feis, in the capital’s Finsbury Park on Saturday 18th June 2011 for an exclusive UK performance. The festival celebrates 21 years of the best Irish and International music in Finsbury Park.

Vince Power, founder of the Mean Fiddler Group, Hop Farm Music Festival and operator of Benicassim Festival, was responsible for 14 Fleadh festivals at Finsbury Park which was a staple on the London music calendar from 1990 until 2004. Continuing on from where the Fleadh left off, London Feis steps in with a fresh outlook: Irish in flavour, international in reach.

Festival boss Vince Power said: “The inaugural London Feis will be a fantastic edition to the capital’s summer calendar and announcing Bob Dylan for an exclusive UK performance means that the first year will be one to remember. I’ve worked with Bob many times before and am delighted to have him back once again.”

The festival will see the best Irish and International music has to offer on three stages at London’s Finsbury Park.
