Stuart Galbraith, CEO of promoter Kilimanjaro Live who have taken over the staging of the event, said: ‘’The pandemic has caused huge challenges for the live industry in 2020 and 2021 and when the opportunity came up for us to get involved with This Is Tomorrow it was a complete no brainer and a very easy decision for us to make.

“It’s a brilliant festival with huge potential in an area which has been traditionally overlooked as a music market. We’re delighted to be able to get this back in the diary and hope to see everyone in September for what promises to be one hell of a party.’’

Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy - made famous for his hit singles Outnumbered and Giants – will open as headliner for the first night of the three-date festival.

Saturday's headliner, the inimitable Gerry Cinnamon, will bring his already legendary live performance including fan-favourites Sometimes, Canter and Where We're Going.
