Get your camera at the ready because this might be the best Instagram opportunity all weekend.
So, you’ve heard of rap battles and dance battles but have you ever heard of a graffiti battle?
Well, you’re about to.
Leading Irish street artists will face off against each other in a novel graffiti competition at Bulmers Forbidden Fruit from Saturday to Monday, 3-5 June.
The Bulmers Live Art area will be hosting live graffiti battles featuring the best of Irish street art talent. Planned battles include Niall O’Loughlin vs Friz, Jess Tobin vs Holly Pereira, Shane Ha vs Squid Fillets, Dillon Theodor vs Cian Hackett, El Viz vs Kayde Middleton and Vents vs Mack Signs.
The street artists will go head-to-head with limited materials and time to create a work based on a theme. The crowd will get to see the talented rivals create something amazing in real-time, with the winner being chosen by the crowd.
As you can tell it’s not all about the music at Bulmers Forbidden Fruit this year. The Bulmers Live Art area is just one of the many areas offering alternative entertainment over the three days of the festival.
Other options include a comedy tent that will host the likes of Joe Rooney and Jarlath Regan. There’ll also be a funfair for anyone looking to take a spin without going anywhere and a Disco Dodgems that will combine bumper cars with pumping DJ sets.
There’s even going to be an inflatable church if you fancy tying the knot with your significant other or a random passer-by! How romantic!
Bulmers Live Art will host Bulmers Graffiti Battles with 100% Irish street artists. Two live battles will take place each day and each battle will have a theme. For more information on the other entertainment on offer at Bulmers Forbidden Fruit, check out the website.
Please drink responsibly.
