Bob Dylan will headline the new London Feis festival in this summer, it's been announced.

The veteran singer will make an exclusive appearance at the event, which takes place in Finsbury Park on June 18.

Festival boss Vince Power said: “The inaugural London Feis will be a fantastic edition to the capital’s summer calendar and announcing Bob Dylan for an exclusive UK performance means that the first year will be one to remember.

“I’ve worked with Bob many times before and am delighted to have him back once again.”

London Feis (pronounced fesh) will also showcase some of the leading names on the Irish music scene performing across three stages.

Tickets are on sale now.
