Indiependence Festival has announced a year off in 2024, with the festival set to return to Mitchelstown in Cork in 2025.
A statement posted by the festival said:
We started in 2006 in the town square, since then we’ve seen it all, rain, sunshine and hurricanes. We’ve had some wonderful times and some really difficult ones and now we need a little break to recoup and relook and hopefully come back stronger.
Indiependence will be taking a break in 2024 with a view to seeing you again in 2025.
Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us over the years, we are more grateful than words can explain.
