When Next We Meet returns to the stunning grounds of Raheen House in Clonmel, County Tipperary, for June bank holiday weekend festivities, Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
Now in its third year, this small-scale-big-heart concert series has steadily carved out a niche as a standout event on the Irish music festival calendar.
When Next We Meet recently announced its headliners and is back with more enticing news. A list of exciting Irish artists will join the incredible headline acts Ye Vagabonds and Bell X1 for two nights of music and celebration on the idyllic grounds of Raheen House in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.
Susan O’Neill and Cormac Looby play on Saturday June 1st, rounding up a beautiful line up for the opening night of this uniquely intimate festival. O’Neill had been Ireland’s best kept secret, however with the release of In The Game her collaboration album with Mick Flannery that has all changed. Susan received nominations for the Choice Music prize and the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards for ‘Album of the Year’, ‘Female Folk Artist’ of the Year, and took home the Best Original Folk Track award for the collaborative song ‘Chain Reaction’.
Cormac Looby is a singer-songwriter from Cahir, Co. Tipperary. He draws inspiration from a range of artists including Mick Flannery, Bell X1, Phoebe Bridgers and Sam Fender. 2024 will see the release of his debut album; A Perpetual State of Irony. Consisting of ten brand new tracks, Cormac and his live band have teamed up once more with the Black Gate Studio in his most ambitious and exciting project to date.
Sunday June 2nd see Bell X1 joined by Rachael Lavelle and The Line.
Lavelle is one of Irelands most exciting artists, having just been in the running for the Choice Music Prize Album of the Year for her stunning debut Big Dreams. The Dublin born singer and composer merges classical and contemporary influences, while her hypnotic live performances blend electronic soundscapes with spoken word and acrobatic vocals.
The Line is the pseudonym of Brian Dillion, musician and sound artist originally form Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. Dillon is a member of Meltybrains? and has worked with a range of Irish artists over the last 10 years, including Talos, Loah, Brídín and Lilla Vargen among others. In late 2023 he released a 13 track collaborative album Red Blood Cells & Righteousness featuring Irish artists Murli, God Knows, Sorcha Richardson and more.
Speaking about the announcement, co-organiser Kate Twohig says “The artists announced today complete the main stage line-up, and complement the headliners, so well. We’ve been really lucky with how things have fallen into place for our third outing, and are just so excited for the audience to share in our love for these artists, in such a beautiful and intimate space.”
Beyond the music, When Next We Meet offers a weekend of community, art, food, and live entertainment, making it a must-attend event for friends, families, artists, and audiences alike.
