A few known groups who have played at Na Fir Bolg are:

The Albion Band, John Kirkpatrick, Robb Johnson, Yevgueni, Bram Vermeulen, Mira, De Mens, The Popes and Anam.

The round men

"Na Fir Bolg", which means "The round men" or "The bag men" in Gaelic, were a Gaelic tribe. This was mentioned by one of the crew of Na Fir Bolg in a pub in '95. Because of the fact that all persons who thought of organising the festival were a bit fat, they called them self "the round men".

"Na Fir Bolg" quickly became the name for the Folk festival.

Non-profit festival

Na Fir Bolg is a non-profit festival, every year a good purpose is chosen to support. In 2009 and 2010 they supported catapa, an emerging volunteer movement in Belgium who are active in the fields of globalization (and how to change it) and sustainable development in Latin America.[2]
