Dublin Folk Festival

This event has ended

Liberty Hall, Tuesday 7th November - Sunday 12th November

After an absence of over 45 years, Singular Artists and Conor Byrne are proud to announce the welcome return of Dublin Folk Festival in the iconic surrounds of Dublin’s Liberty Hall, in the heart of the city.

Acclaimed acts Byrne, Harper & Cooney, Gemma Hayes, John Spillane, Daoirí Farrell Trio, Ralph McTell and Scullion will headline the festival’s six evening shows, with support acts still to be announced.

Festival programmer, Conor Byrne–whose mother Eilish Moore was one of the organisers of the original Dublin Folk Festival in the 1970s–talks about his dream of re-establishing the festival:

“I have fond memories of the Dublin Folk Festival back in the 70s, when I was a child. This was at a time when the folk scene in the city was buzzing in the various clubs and sessions around establishments such as Slattery’s of Capel Street and the Meeting Place in Dorset St. You’d hear new, emerging acts of the time like Planxty, Dé Dannan, Clannad and The Bothy Band. With the current revival of the folk scene in the city, there is an array of talent that needs to be heard. To me, it’s a no-brainer that we should re-establish this festival and celebrate our music, our musicians and our singers. It’s been a longtime personal dream, and I’m delighted that it’s now going to be a reality.”
