The countdown is officially on! Independent Birmingham-Irish festival Pairc Summers Series returns to the King’s Heath Irish Centre grounds across Sat 23rd Aug & Sun 24th Aug, for another unforgettable celebration of Irish music and culture in the UK.
With just one month to go, we’re counting down the days until our Irish weekender commences; filled with world-class Irish music, delicious food, and of course, perfectly poured Guinness. It’s the ultimate way to spend your bank holiday weekend!
The 2025 line-up will feature a specially curated show from Sharon Shannon Big Band featuring Liam Ó Moanlai from Hothouse Flowers, Mundy, Camille O’Sullivan & Cait O’Riordan from The Pogues. The band will take to the stage on Sunday night to headline this year’s festival.
Also joining the 2025 line-up are The Undertones, The High Kings, Tumbling Paddies, Fin Furey, The Young Wolfe Tones and tons of local Irish bands including The Pogue Traders, The Father Teds, Lampa and One For The Road.
Ciaran Healy, co-owner of the festival said “We can’t wait to be back at The New Irish Centre in King’s Heath this August Bank Holiday. Big thank you to everyone who has already bought a ticket to our 2025 show. We can’t wait for The Saw Doctors to come to Birmingham – this year is shaping up to be a very special edition of Pairc!”
Celebrating the historical link between Birmingham and Ireland, attendees can enjoy a range of music, entertainment and activities across the festival’s street food village, Irish Dance School, and market stalls (celebrating local makers and traditional Irish produce), plus real ale bars, Guinness on tap, and locally sourced beers!
