Live in the Marquee Festival back for a second year in Shannonbridge

Live in the Marquee, the Shannonbridge festival which arrived with such a bang last year, is back for 2025.

The event, hosted by JJ Killeen’s, promises an exciting weekend of live music, dancing, and entertainment taking place from January 31 to February 2 during the February Bank Holiday.

After the overwhelming success of the inaugural festival last August, organisers are bringing even more joy and energy back to Shannonbridge with a stellar lineup of performances under a spacious marquee.

Revisiting the spirit of the legendary Shannonbridge Carnival of the 1960s and 1970s, Live in the Marquee promises a weekend of all-dancing fun for people of all ages from 18 to 80!

Last summer’s event brought the community together, with attendees ranging from young music enthusiasts to lively dancers in their 80s. This year’s festival is poised to build on that magic with three unforgettable nights of music and memories.The 2025 Lineup includes Rebel Heart supported by Seanie & James on Friday, January 31, Michael English supported by Jack Keogh on Saturday, February 1, and the Live Forever Oasis Tribute supported by Colin Fahy on Sunday, February 2.

“This festival is about reliving the good times,” said Liam Fallon owner of JJ Killeen’s. “We’re proud to bring back the community spirit, fun, and music that Shannonbridge has always been known for.”

“Our last festival was a huge success and we’re delighted to build on that, giving people the chance to enjoy the first bank holiday of the year locally with some music and dancing.”The event will be held in a large covered marquee adjacent to JJ Killeens on Main Street, Shannonbridge, providing the perfect venue for a lively and immersive experience.

Tickets for Live in the Marquee Shannonbridge are available now at Tickets.ie, at JJ Killeen’s Bar, and limited tickets will be available at the door each night.
