Guide to Dergfest

All roads point to Castlederg this weekend, ahead of the highly-anticipated ‘Dergfest’ – and the first under the cover of a huge tent!

New to this year’s annual entertainment extravaganza is ’Teenfest’, a special alcohol-free night for secondary school students. Taking place tonight (Thursday, July 28), in the Big Top arena, a number of talented DJs are lined up to ensure that the North’s biggest teen festival is a hot hit.

Friday night (July 29), Dergfest goes country – and headliner Derek Ryan is back by popular demand. The music maestro will be supported by Johnny Brady, and Strabane singing star, Jamie Donnelly.

Saturday night (July 30) poses a tuneful treat, as UK Top 40 regulars, Sigma will grace the ‘Derg stage. Warming up the crowd for the famous duo will be KC Lights, and a number of iconic DJ sets.

Sunday (July 31) sees the musical gears shift again. The final night of the show will be adorned with the homegrown talent of The Logues, while the most authentic Queen tribute band, ‘Qween’, and Bruce Springsteen tribute band, ‘The Human Touch’ will ensure a concert not to be missed.
