Joe Fest 2023 -  a full lineup of musical acts on three stages - Kilkenny Live

Joe Fest is the creation of friends James Taylor, Sean Walsh, Alice Heafey, Marina Bini, Joy Fleming, Shane Tobler and many other friends in memory of their good friend Joe Cleere who sadly passed away last year. 

Joe Fest is a celebration of all things Joe from Jungle music to Ska, good food and drink and most of all good banter between friends and family. 

All money raised  from tickets this year will be going to Joe's sisters partner for his much-needed cancer treatment in America that unfortunately isn’t available here in Ireland.

Information for this charity can be found at the link at the end of this article.

If you can’t make the event please donate whatever you can to the go fund me page in support. 

This is the second Joe Fest last last year it was held in Ryan’s bar in Kilkenny this years Joe Fest is held in Murphy's bar in Thomastown with some of Kilkenny's finest musicians rallying together to create a day of celebration in honor of a much-loved friend. 

Tickets are €15 and are available in rollercoaster records on Kieran Street in Kilkenny and Murphy's bar in Thomastown.
