The Farmer’s Bash is back in 2025 and due to phenomenal demand, the event will now be hosted across two days and 4 stages at Boucher Playing Fields – Northern Ireland’s largest concert venue!

The inaugural outdoor edition of The Farmer’s Bash at Belsonic in 2024 sold out in record time.

The Farmer’s Bash Weekender comes to Boucher Playing Fields on August 9th & 10th, with headline acts Kaiser Chiefs & The 2 Johnnies, alongside a full festival lineup across 4 stages, including performances from The Coronas, Nathan Carter, B*Witched, Derek Ryan, Bingo Loco, 30+ Club, along with a broad range of activities including The Big Tractor Showdown, Husband Calling Championships and Piggy 500 Pig Racing, with many more to be announced!

Since its introduction in 2017, the Farmer’s Bash has blossomed into one of Ireland's biggest music events, consistently drawing capacity crowds at the SSE Arena Belfast, and growing into a multi stage outdoor event for 2025.

Mark McCabe

Mark McCabe started writing songs on acoustic guitar when he arrived at University and realised he had no friends. In many ways this didn’t bode well for the subject matter of said songs and may well be the reason why he is to this day implored by his parents to ‘write a happy one’. Since picking up the guitar, Mark has hit the road hard and has built himself a strong following all over Europe. He first took to the studio in October 2009 and recorded ‘Is That Really How You Feel?’ In support of the record, Mark relocated to Paris to concentrate on touring mainland Europe. The relocation resulted in Mark playing shows all over Europe with Frank Turner, PJ Bond, Asptai, The Flatliners, Chris T-T and many more. He once even played a funeral for a chicken in Belgium… but that’s another story.

The Tumbling Paddies

Rapidly becoming one of Ireland’s most popular entertainment acts. The Tumbling Paddies have grown from strength to strength, particularly in the past two years. It is no surprise that their music is played in many venues throughout the world. Originally starting out in 2014 as a five-piece performing at local weddings and pubs in their beloved County Fermanagh the band has continuously evolved to where they are today. It wasn’t long until Oisin came in on keyboards and the band started to expand on their music gaining more and more followers as they toured.
