Outside the Meadows - Madra Salach
Outside the Meadows is an extension of the spirit and sound of In the Meadows—a curated series of standalone shows spotlighting the next wave of voices in Irish music. While In the Meadows brings together iconic and boundary-pushing acts in the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Outside the Meadows takes that same curatorial ethos beyond the festival walls.
This year, we're proud to present three unique act across two nights featuring Madra Salach, Skinner, and Shark School. Three rising new bands performing in some of Dublin’s most iconic intimate venues. From Madra Salach, one of the most exciting new trad bands performing in the iconic Cobblestone to Skinner and Shark School who are proving to be the future of Irish alternative music performing in The Thomas House, this showcase is the best place to catch a glimpse of the next Irish sensations. Each show captures the raw energy, DIY roots, and community-driven vibe that define our festival, offering fans a more intimate but no less electrifying experience.
