Sligo Live is a national festival celebrating traditional, roots and acoustic music. Now in its fifth year, it has carved out a niche as one of the most relaxed, intimate and enjoyable music festivals in Ireland. Sligo Live is a modern continuation of a long and distinguished musical heritage going back hundreds and maybe thousands of years. It has been shown that the first inhabitants came to Sligo over five thousand years ago and who would bet that the incredible beauty of Sligo did not inspire them to sing, dance and play music. This year's festival will feature performances by the likes of Martha Wainwright, Imelda May, The Saw Doctors, Josh Ritter, PJ Gallagher and more.
