With one week to go until thousands of eager festival goers descend upon Tubby\u2019s Farm, Hillsborough, for the 6th<\/sup> annual Sunflowerfest, festival organisers have announced the full programme of performances scheduled for the five main stages of the festival from Friday 31st<\/sup> July \u2013 Sunday 2nd<\/sup> August.<\/h1>\n

From spoken word and comedy performances in the Moot to local gems and cocktails at the Pond Stage, the picturesque backdrop of the Campfire Stage which will feature a range of more acoustic, folk and traditional acts, and the heavier, more alternative acts housed in the Barn Stage, this year\u2019s festival is offering something for every musical taste and all ages of festival guest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Music will kick off from 1.45pm on Friday 31st July and from 12pm on Saturday 1st<\/sup> August and 12.30pm Sunday 2nd<\/sup> August, with exciting headline acts Dreadzone (10.45pm, Friday), Senser (10.40pm, Saturday) and Skinny Lister (9.50pm, Sunday) closing the main stage on each night of the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of the line-up we\u2019ve secured for this year\u2019s festival,\u201d said Michael Magowan, organiser, Sunflowerfest.\u00a0 \u201cOur planning for this year began immediately following last year\u2019s festival and the line-ups we have confirmed for all of the festival\u2019s stages represent the very best in local music as well as a number of rising stars in the British and Irish music scenes alongside veterans of the industry with Dreadzone and Senser.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to organise an excitingly different and magical weekend festival each year and this year will not only include our five stages of live music but will also see a cocktail bar on a boat, a fully-supervised kids\u2019 zone with arts, crafts and fun educational activities, the Bliss realm, sponsored by Vita Coco, which will nurture mind, body and spirit, and back by popular demand we will have a UV Silent Disco for guests to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now in its 6th<\/sup> year, the annual festival held each summer on Tubby\u2019s Farm in Hillsborough, County Down, has quickly become a must-attend festival for all things related to music and art. The annual festival is attended by music lovers from across the UK and Ireland and as far away as Russia, Germany, China and America.<\/p>\n
