The volunteer-run all-dayer takes over The Lodge in Cloghans, Co. Mayo on Saturday August 15th for its third year, with just five tickets left
The Conncert is back in North Mayo for its third year running, taking over The Lodge in Cloghans on the shores of Lough Conn on Saturday August 15th.
This year’s lineup brings together acts from across the country. Mohammad Syfkhan crosses the border from Leitrim with his bouzouki and drum machine, Katie Kim presents a trio with Eleanor Myler and Elaine Malone, and Cork’s The Altered Hours (who’ve earned honorary Ballina Punx passports over the years) and Caoilian Sherlock bring considerable vibes down south. Moundabout make their first appearance since Open Ear festival in 2024, Wild Rocket brings its heavy psych, Katie Gerardine O’Neill comes up from Dublin, and Norfolk’s Allies of Ferns open proceedings.
Run entirely by volunteers, with support from THENCF cultural co-op, Ballina Punx and Mayo County Council, the day also features a mobile sauna parked at the lake beside The Lodge, along with record distros from Nyahhh Records and Camellia Sinensis.
Tickets and info are available via Tickettailor. it’s sold out currently but there’s been returns also.
