Ireland’s leading classical music competition, Feis Ceoil, returns from Saturday 7th to Sunday 15th June 2025 at All Hallows Campus, DCU, Grace Park Road, Drumcondra.

Set up in 1896, Feis Ceoil Association promotes excellence in the learning and performance of music across all ages, levels and disciplines. We run an annual festival before Easter each year in Dublin which comprises almost 200 competitions, attracting over 5,000 participants from all over the island of Ireland. We also run non-competitive events and concerts throughout the rest of the year.

The competitions will be held in Purcell House and The Chapel on the All Hallows campus, which offers many rooms and spaces with fantastic acoustics. The venue also has free parking, an on-site café, and overnight accommodation options for those who need it. It is also easily accessible by bus, DART, and train, so getting there is simple for everyone.

Feis Ceoil occupies a unique position in Irish life. It is an essential element in the musical infrastructure of the country and has made an immeasurable contribution to the study and cultivation of music at all levels in Ireland.

Today, Feis Ceoil is an event of major significance in the development of musical talent in Ireland. To be successful at the Feis is very important in the musical career of many entrants, for many others it is a means of obtaining enhanced enjoyment from their music while also providing a yardstick by which to measure their personal standards.
