MusicTown

This event has ended

The Complex, Thursday 27th July - Sunday 30th July

MusicTown happens all under one roof this year. A broad sweep of the infinite spectrum of music-makers resident in Ireland descend on The Complex in Dublin City on the last weekend of July, 27th – 30th, for an essential inspection and celebration of the state of Irish music in 2023.

This line-up isn’t just a snapshot of music in Ireland, it’s a reflection of the diversity of Irish life itself.

MusicTown originated in 2015, an initiative from Dublin City Council Arts Officer Ray Yeates to create a platform where all the different styles, tribes and genres of music performed in Dublin could exist side by side on one programme. Over the past seven years, the programme has travelled all over the city from studios to parks to churches to concert halls. It has spawned essential collaborations not just amongst musicians but work that has crossbred across theatre, dance, literature, and visual art. MusicTown even defied COVID for two years, presenting exciting programmes of live-streamed performances and original music films exclusively online.

MusicTown 2023 welcomes three esteemed guest curators this year, the Improvised Music Company (IMC), Dublin Digital Radio & Crash Ensemble.
