BODY & SOUL IS BACK After a two year hiatus and s
ome proper time out to rethink and reimagine - the pioneering festival of music and arts is flipping its usual format on its head, halving its numbers and doubling its curatorial commitment. Body & Soul holds a special place in people’s hearts and minds - the trailblazing, meticulously curated three-day, festival in Ballinlough Castle Estate has draped and dazzled its rustic surrounds in the splendour of discovery and enchantment over previous editions. Now it returns, reboots and reimagines what a truly immersive festival can mean - forging connections, foraging experiences and fashioning the joy of shared experience. With just 5,500 weekend tickets available, Body & Soul is channelling this renewed creativity with a complete revision of its magical festival grounds across Ballinlough Castle Estate, replete with a backdrop of 17th century Walled Gardens, Woodlands and Lake. THE MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH YOU While keeping this mystery alive a little longer by still holding a few of its most exciting line up cards close to its chest, the independent, female owned festival has announced the likes of Róisín Murphy, Sampa the Great, Yves Tumor, CMAT, Pillow Queens, Kelly Lee Owens, Lee Fields, Soda Blonde, John Francis Flynn, Sofia Kourtesis, Optimo, Yard Act, Remi Wolf, Magdalena Bay, Godford, Sinead O’Brien, Fears, The Bug Club, The Altered Hours, M(H)AOL, Byron Yeates, Chloé, Mother DJ’s, an immersive album playback of Jon Hopkins’ Music for Psychedelic Therapy & many more besides. 22
