The Boyne Music Festival returns for its 13th summer from Thursday 23 July – Sunday 26 July 2026. This year’s festival presents a vibrant mix of chamber music, poetry, film, workshops and visual art across some of the Boyne Valley’s most distinctive historic locations.
This year’s theme, Forgotten Spaces, invites audiences to reflect on the structures we inhabit, preserve and neglect across Ireland. From abandoned buildings to overlooked corners of everyday life, the festival explores how spaces shape personal experience and collective memory, and how they can be rediscovered through music and art.
Founded in 2013 by twin sisters Aisling and Julie-Anne Manning, alongside their cousin Deirdre Brenner, the Boyne Music Festival has become a much-loved fixture of Ireland’s cultural calendar, known for its intimate atmosphere and high-calibre performances. The 2026 programme continues this tradition, bringing together exceptional Irish and international artists alongside emerging voices.
