Ye Vagabonds in Cornwall
Ye Vagabonds bring their spellbinding, harmony-rich Irish folk to Kernowfornia Festival 2026, performing on the sands of East Looe Beach at Cornwall’s acclaimed beach festival. Their appearance marks a rare chance to see these extraordinary musicians live in Cornwall, as part of one of the most atmospheric and authentic UK festival lineups of the year.
Brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn have become two of the most captivating voices in contemporary folk, celebrated for their breathtaking harmonies, traditional craftsmanship and unhurried, emotionally rich storytelling. Their acclaimed albums — including The Hare’s Lament, Nine Waves and their self-titled debut — have earned them multiple RTÉ Folk Awards and a devoted worldwide following drawn to their purity, depth and unmistakable musical bond.
Songs such as “I’m A Rover”, “The Bothy Lads”, “An Island”, “The Morning Light” and “Go Away and Come Back Hither” showcase Ye Vagabonds’ rare ability to create stillness and connection. Their performances feel timeless — woven from tradition, brotherhood, and a deep respect for the land and the stories carried within it.
Live, Ye Vagabonds are quietly electrifying. Their shows feel intimate even in large spaces, with harmonies that settle like sea air and songs that feel as old and true as the coastline itself. Beneath the Cornish sky at Kernowfornia’s beach festival, their set will be one of the most moving and transcendent musical moments of the weekend.
At Kernowfornia Festival 2026, one of the most anticipated Cornwall festivals and standout UK beach festivals, Ye Vagabonds offer a chance to experience modern folk at its very finest.
For anyone seeking a rare Ye Vagabonds Cornwall performance, this is the perfect moment to catch Ye Vagabonds live in the South West as part of their wider UK festival appearances in 2026.
