The Works Festival 2024

The Works Festival, in partnership with Poetry Ireland, Rascals Brewery and Smithfield Creatives, is proud to announce its second event on 24th August 2024 at CIE Hall, Library Square, Inchicore.

Following the success of last year’s event, the grassroots community arts festival will take place over the course of the afternoon, playing host to a slew of artists, musicians, poets and comedians from the Dublin area and beyond.

Having tapped into the wealth of potential of the venue, organisers Adam Kelly and Danny Kilmartin have again drawn from their wide network of like-minded creatives across multiple disciplines.

The unique and historical venue, a local community focal point for education, sports, social and cultural programmes, will play host to returning acts Chase Nova Band, Dubh Lee, Hot Mess, Luke Clerkin, Trope, Vagabond Queen and Annie and The Witness. In addition, this year’s event will feature the debuts of bands Sweltr, Graceless Ecological Postal Service, Left Iris, Sygh, poets Shivvy Hickey and Philip Kenny, and comedians Justine Mulligan, with more to be confirmed.

With the new look and line-up, the event promises something for everyone – it’s got the whole works!
