The Castle Music Festival returns for its second year, bringing three days of live music to the enchanting medieval village of Newcastle.

Blending world-class artistry with historic charm, the festival offers an unforgettable experience for music lovers.

This year’s programme takes place across three unique venues: the candlelit village church, the award-winning Wicklow Wolf Brewery, and the characterful Castle Inn. Each setting provides its own atmosphere, creating a festival that feels intimate, immersive, and full of life.

Headline acts include the legendary Scullion, the soaring harmonies of the Dublin Gospel Choir, the one-man musical mealstrom that is Munday, and the explosive energy of The New Brass Kings.

Alongside these standout performances, audiences can look forward to soulful sessions, foot-stomping tunes, and late-night gatherings that celebrate the best of Irish music and culture.

“The Castle Music Festival is about more than music,” say the organisers. “It is about connection between artist and audience, past and present, village and visitor. The settings are magical, the talent is world-class, and the experience is unforgettable.”

With limited capacity in each venue, early booking is strongly recommended – and you can do so right about here.
