The 2016 and third edition of the Silicon Valley Irish Fleadh features a terrific entertainment lineup that represents the best of both traditional and modern in Irish Music. Wildly acclaimed at last year Silicon Valley Irish Fleadh, The Shams are becoming a staple of the Silicon Valley Irish Fleadh and are returning both days this year with a whole new set. Also appearing for the first time on our stage is our second headliner of the week end, Culann's Hounds. Fierce like their namesake, Cu Chulainn, Culann's Hounds have built a reputation for stage shows filled with high-­energy and a ruthless dedication to rocking their audiences. Folk melodies, sensibilities, and stories permeate their music with origins in Ireland, France, and early America.

Opening the days, along performances from Martin L and the Greene Academy of Irish Dance, are The Wild Rovers, The Crooked Road Ceili Band and The Kavanaugh Brothers.
