Knockanstockan Music Festival

Bio:

'KnockanStockan began with the idea that musicians needed to group together to share, showcase and ultimately celebrate their music with friends in order to crack the ever elusive music industry .

At venues around Dublin the collective of artists known as the 'Primal Jelly Social Club' burst onto an stagnant and flailing music scene, and created new platforms for themselves and the city's other hard-working bands and performers. But more was needed.

In 2007, a small mini-camping festival and musical weekend in The Ballyknockan Inn offered 40 acts 'A musician's festival for musicians'. KnockanStockan was born.

In 2008, KnockanStockan returned: an alliance of passionate volunteers, blazing musical talents and a friendly farmer forged a 3-day festival to strike a blow against a profiteering music industry, with 3 stages and 100 acts, scooping that year's best small festival award.

2009 had alot to live up too..... Armed to the teeth with 4 amazing stages, and over 140 superb acts it was stuffed to the gills with music, art, culture and good vibes.

Planning for Knockanstockan 2010 is underway, and in the face of reccession and social unrest, shrinking venues, and cash strapped music lovers, Knockanstockan will return and looking forward to its best ever year.

Special thanks to the v s i volunteers.
