Final preparations are under way ahead of Dublin’s first multi-staged music festival taking place this weekend on the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Kilmainham.
Acts such as The Flaming Lips, Wild Beasts, Erol Alkan and Jape will play in four different performance areas at the inaugural Bulmers' Forbidden Fruit Festival.
Organisers have planned for some 9,000 people to attend the two day event, with a spokeswoman for Bulmers saying that tickets were almost sold out.
As well as showcasing music, Forbidden Fruit will offer fashion and art shows including 'Draw with Don' sessions featuring Don Conroy.
Facilities on site will include three tented stages, a main stage, a central bar (all named after Bulmers products), graffiti canvasses and food stalls.
Despite the compact space, organisers are confident that the apple shaped site will accommodate the crowd along with the multiple acts without any problems.
"Every music festival has a bit of spill but I think we'll be fine" said site manager Robbie Butler today while giving members of the media a tour of the grounds.
"The different stages will play out onto different areas. After that it is up to the management on the day, there will be some balancing. If there is a sensitive act on the main stage then that might need to be taken account of," he said.
The first music act gets under way on Saturday at 2.15pm as Colourmusic take to the main stage with the last act, The Flaming Lips, finishing proceedings eight and a half hours later.
On Sunday, the first act will take to the stage at the slightly earlier time of 2pm but will run again until 10.45pm.
In an effort to make the festival more accessible, Bulmers will be running a shuttle service for free throughout the weekend between the festival site and Dublin city centre.
The 64 seater, vintage London style bus will collect festival goers from Georges Quay with a return run going to Eden Quay via POD on Harcourt Street.
Day tickets for the festival are €49.50 while a weekend ticket is priced at €90. Details can be found at www.forbiddenfruits.ie
