LIMERICK will be “buzzing” this August, with an impressive list of acts due to take to the stage at the Live at the Docklands Festival.

The festival, presented by Dolans, is running for multiple dates this month and will see a wide range of bands and artists from Ireland and abroad performing on the banks of the River Shannon.

The stage, already graced by Moncrieff on Saturday, August 9, will see performances from Picture This, The Saw Doctors, Block Rockin Beats, The Waterboys, Kingfishr, Qween and Kaiser Chiefs, with special guests throughout.

Dolans will be open from 4pm each day with pre-show parties from The Terrace. All shows will also have afterparties with DJ sets and live music.
