INDIE22 Director Mark Noonan said: “After a couple of years away and all the turmoil that included it’s really great to be announcing such huge headliners for INDIE next year. We really feel that we’ve struck a good balance here and with lots more acts still to be announced – we think it’s one of our strongest line ups to date. We are as ever delighted to announce some wonderful new talent who we think could be the headliners of the future.”

Starting out in 2006, INDIE has become one of Ireland’s most successful festivals while cementing itself on the international festival map. Over the years artists such as Manic Street Preachers, Public Enemy, Biffy Clyro, Lewis Capaldi, Bastille, Basement Jaxx, De La Soul, Tom Odell, Editors, The Dandy Warhols have come to INDIE to play alongside some of Ireland’s finest live acts, including The Coronas, Hozier, Kodaline and Lyra. An origin story that started with a handful of music lovers in the County Cork town has developed into a constantly evolving festival with a huge and loyal fanbase that grows every year.
