Tolü Makay and Qbanaa to headline Music & Mental Health Festival

Tolü Makay and Qbanaa are set to headline the third installment of the Music & Mental Health Festival on May 18 in the Workman's Club’s Main Room and Cellar.

Other musical acts announced for the event include alt-rock band Martina and The Moons, Stockholm-born hip-hop artist Skull The Pierre, winner of the 2024 A New Local Hero competition Calum Agnew, and indie-pop 5-piece Trinkets.

The festival will also feature a panel discussion and a workshop, alongside the live performances, to invite people to join the conversation and raise awareness on mental health challenges in the music industry.

Now on its third instalment, the Music & Mental Health Festival aims to shine a light on the connection between music and anxiety from the perspective of artists, industry professionals and fans, while also emphasising available support for the people working in the creative sector.

Zoé Piater, founder and director of the festival, commented, "As we launch the third edition, we're excited to present yet another thoughtfully curated lineup of incredibly talented artists.

“With both the conference and showcases, our aim is to foster a safe and welcoming space where musicians, industry professionals, and fans can openly share their experiences. By doing so, we hope to normalise conversations around mental health in the music industry while offering valuable resources and support."

Tickets, starting from €15 are available now and can be purchased here.
