Indiependence Festival in Co Cork to Take a Hiatus in 2024

The cherished Indiependence Music & Arts Festival, held in Mitchelstown, Co Cork, has announced that it will not take place in 2024. The festival, which began in 2006 and has become a staple event on the August Bank Holiday weekend, is choosing to take a temporary break from the bustling festival scene.

Festival History

Originating in the town square of Mitchelstown, the festival has grown substantially over the years. It has weathered various conditions, having experienced everything from sunshine to hurricanes. The event has been a platform for creating memorable experiences for both attendees and performers alike.

A Much-Needed Pause

In a heartfelt statement, the festival's organisers expressed their need to step back, recharge, and reassess, with hopes to return in 2025 rejuvenated and stronger. They look at this intermission as an opportunity to revitalize the festival and ensure its longevity. The team behind Indiependence expressed deep gratitude to those who have supported the festival through its highs and lows over the years.

Plans for the Future

While the break sparks a temporary void in the festival calendar for 2024, it has been made clear that this is not a permanent end. The organisers have avidly stated their intention to welcome fans back to the vibrant fields of Mitchelstown in 2025, hinting at a grand return for the beloved festival.

Gratitude for Support

The Indiependence team took the opportunity to thank the community, volunteers, and everyone who played a role in making the festival a success. Their appreciation extends beyond mere words, acknowledging the collective effort that has sustained the event over the years.
