“We’ve been absolutely delighted (and only mildly surprised) by the festival’s steady rise since its 2022 debut,” says Kate Twohig, festival producer and co-director of When Next We Meet.
“Eoin [Hally] and I are musicians first, so getting to bring incredible artists like Villagers, Pillow Queens, and Morgana to Tipperary feels like a bit of a dream we managed to convince everyone to go along with. Our goal is simple: to create a space where both emerging and established artists have a special experience – and where the audience isn’t just watching the magic happen but are an integral part of that magic.”
When Next We Meet is proudly supported by Camida, David Anchell, IMRO, Tipperary County Council, Tipperary Museum of Hidden History, Raheen House and Beat 102 103.
