INDIE has grown into one of
Ireland’s most successful and long-running festivals since it began life in
Mitchelstown in 2006. Its move to the scenic Deer Farm just
on the outskirts of the town in 2010 allowed INDIE to put
itself onto the international map, attracting artists such as
Manic Street Preachers, Public Enemy, Basement Jaxx, De La Soul, Tom
Odell, Editors, The Dandy Warhols and much more
over the years. INDIE19 saw stunning performances from headliners
Lewis Capaldi, Biffy Clyro, Catfish & the Bottlemen and Gavin
James with 15,000 people descending on the picturesque Galtee
Mountains site. Synonymous with nurturing exciting emerging artists
the likes of Kodaline, Walking On Cars, Picture This, The Coronas and Hozier
have performed some of their first festival shows at INDIE while breakthrough
acts such as Bastille have returned to INDIE several years later following huge
international success.
INDIE20 will be a strictly over-18s event and will see the addition
of the new GREEN Campsite in an effort to
manage the festival space better and improve the experience
for all. Admission to the GREEN Campsite can be obtained after buying
a standard weekend ticket and then contacting Pamper the Camper or
Festi-Huts (contact details on the festival website). This will
provide access to the GREEN Campsite and to the VIP Bar
in the Main Arena.
