The Limerick DIY festival returns from Friday August 14th to Sunday August 16th, with over 40 artists across eight venues and free entry throughout.
Féile Na Gréine has announced the lineup for its 2026 edition, running Friday August 14th to Sunday August 16th across Limerick City. The festival remains free to attend throughout.
This year’s bill includes Lemoncello, fresh off their new album Perfect Place, the angular guitar noise of Shark School, Nialler9 highly-recommended folk artist Rua Rí, and young Limerick rapper DATQIDEXCEL, among many others.
With over 40 artists playing across eight venues, the festival continues to bill itself as a celebration of everything DIY and independent in Irish music.
Opening the festival is a new commission from experimental Limerick composer Áine O’Dwyer, taking place in Redemptorist Church on the opening night.
