The legendary lo-fi outsider artist and songwriter Daniel Johnston returns to Ireland after his debut Irish performance at a sell-out show in Vicar Street in 2007. This time the Foggy Notions crew bring him to the intimate Whelan's venue for a very special star-studded event. The first half of the performance will see a stellar cast of musical legends, including Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub, James McNew of Yo La Tengo and Jad Fair, performing the songs of Daniel Johnston. The second half of the show will see the man himself take to the stage with his famous friends forming his backing band.
