The Macroom Music Fest is set to bring three days of live music, traditional craic, and late-night dancing to the town of Macroom in Midwest Cork. The festival, which has become a staple in the local cultural calendar, will feature a mix of local and national acts across multiple stages.

The lineup includes a variety of genres, from traditional Irish music to contemporary rock and pop, ensuring there is something for all ages.
In addition to the main music stages, the festival will offer food stalls, craft vendors, and family-friendly activities during the day. Evening sessions will transform into late-night dance parties, a highlight for many attendees.
