Music to our earlybird ears

Don’t forget to set your alarms!

Tickets for Indie20 go on sale on Saturday, 2 November, at 10am with the first acts due to be announced for the popular Mitchelstown festival in the next few weeks, organisers have promised.

Fans of the festival have the chance to buy early bird tickets for €129 which will go on sale from tickets.ie and also from a special pop up shop at Walsh’s Yard Bar in Mitchelstown from 10am-midday on Saturday, too.

Indie has grown into one of Ireland’s most successful and long-running festivals since it began life in Mitchelstown in 2006. Its move to the scenic Deer Farm just on the outskirts of the town in 2010 allowed Indie to put itself onto the international map, attracting artists such as Manic Street Preachers, Public Enemy, Basement Jaxx, De La Soul, Tom Odell, Editors, The Dandy Warhols and much more over the years.

Indie has also been synonymous with providing a stage for the best upcoming Irish acts and has seen the likes of Kodaline, Walking On Cars, Picture This and more perform some of their first festival shows as well as monstrous performances from The Coronas and Hozier over the years.

Indie20 will be a strictly over 18s event and will see the addition of the new green campsite in an effort to manage the festival space better. Admission to this can be obtained after buying a standard weekend ticket and then contacting Pamper the Camper or Festi-Huts.
