‘Showcasing the Soundtrack to Ireland’s Future.

Welcome to Ireland Music Week! The 21st year of the Festival.

Ireland Music Week is an important event in an artists’ development and profile in the music industry. The main aim is to allow both industry and fans to witness the next crop of Irish talent. The showcases and the robust and busy conference schedule maintain IMW’s essential presence as a key international-facing showcase event.

Many artists go on to showcase at some of international festivals that Music From Ireland partners with each year. More info via https://www.musicfromireland.org/

The Showcases

Since our inception in 2003, Ireland Music Week has given a platform to some of Ireland’s best-known acts, and carved out a strong, uncompromising identity. The competition for applicants every year is always tough, with up to 600 acts vying for just 50 slots. We’re confident the 2023 line-up will represent the best of the best from Ireland’s deep bench of emerging talent.

Ireland Music Week is also part of Keychange, a pioneering initiative which aims to see music festival line-ups achieve a 50/50 gender balance while investing in the next generation of female artists. HWCH was the first Irish festival to sign up to Keychange, and we’re proud to continue this as Ireland Music Week.

The Conference

For artists and delegates, Ireland Music Week gives them a chance to learn and develop their craft, and create new opportunities with agents, labels, bookers, music supervisors, and services from all over the world. From workshops and panels, to master classes and speed sessions, our conference gives artists, and those who support them, the tools and network they need to sustain a career in music.
