Damien Dempsey, Lisa O'Neill and Muireann Bradley are among the headliners announced for this year's Galway Folk Festival.

The 5th annual festival will take place in Galway city from June 3 - June 7, with shows across nine venues, including Leisureland and the historic St. Nicolas Church.

“Reaching our 5th year is a huge moment for the festival," says Festival Director Gary Monroe.

"Galway Folk Festival has always been about community, connection and great music, and for 2026 we wanted to celebrate that by inviting back some familiar faces while continuing to introduce new artists to Galway audiences.”

Additional headliners set to perform include the elusive electronic artist RÓIS, Galway singer-songwriter Jamie McIntyre and English alternative-folk group Flyte.
