UPSTART FESTIVAL Cork 2024 !!!

What a night! 6 of the best Cork Bands of 2024, all together for one day at an outdoor festival.

Happy Fans, Happy Bands ..exhausted organisers ..but what a day we had. Thanks to everyone who came, took part, helped make it happen!

We focus on Cork’s emerging talent but always with a big nod to our musical past, the bands that inspire the current crop and set the Cork music scene apart.
