The Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, Dublin 8
Saturday, June 08 – 2024

We are incredibly pleased to announce the inaugural In The Meadows, a brand new one-day event in the heart of Dublin City Centre from the people behind All Together Now & Forbidden Fruit Festival. The event is curated for true music fans in one of the most special and unique settings for a concert in Ireland, the grounds of the Irish Museum Of Modern Art. This venue has hosted the likes of Leonard Cohen, Bon Iver, Blur, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Patti Smith, and The War On Drugs as well as being the home of Forbidden Fruit Festival for the last 12 years.

The inaugural In The Meadows will take place on Saturday, June 08th, 2024, headlined and co-curated by mercury-nominated Irish band LANKUM who will perform their only Dublin show for 2024 on the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art. The one-day event will occur across two stages with MOGWAI, BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD, JOHN FRANCIS FLYNN & THIS IS THE KIT the first to be announced.

Dublin four-piece LANKUM (brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch, Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat) have gained worldwide acclaim for their first three albums and captivating, euphoric live performances. Their fourth album “False Lankum” has been universally heralded, reaching no.2 in the Official Irish Album Charts on release, receiving a Mercury Prize nomination and significantly eclipsing the success of their previous album, the Choice Award winning, “The Livelong Day”. The record heralds a new stage in the metamorphosis of the band into a modern-day powerhouse, drawing on traditional and primitive methods to create bold and singular music that transcends its folk roots: an entrancing, widescreen sound incorporating experimental overtones and rumbling drones wedded with classic songwriting, close vocal harmonies and timeless narratives. Their live show has evolved into a deeply moving collective experience, with the band performing together as though they are a single lung: sounds expand and collapse from indistinguishable mouths, lungs, fingers, keys and feet, while a wall of amp stacks push the intensity of the show to new levels. This is their only Dublin show for 2024.
