Misneach Festival

Misneach is Dermot Kennedy‘s brand-new annual global music festival and celebration of Ireland’s rich musical heritage which coincides with the St Patrick’s Day celebrations in March 2025.

MISNEACH will be heldacross two cities central to the Irish diaspora and with thriving Irish culture; Sydney, Australia on March 16 and Boston, USA on March 18-19. The twin festivals will form a vital new part of each city’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, providing a renewed focus on contemporary and traditional Irish music through lineups curated by Dermot Kennedy.
