Thu 29 May 2025 - Sun 01 Jun 2025


Off the back of an unforgettable sun soaked 2024 Open Ear returns to the stunning environs of Sherkin Island this June Bank Holiday weekend - May 29th - June 1st. Expect a weekend of some of the most forward thinking experimental music from Ireland & beyond, alongside some of the most thrilling dance-floor disruptors, all of it interwoven within the uniquely spectacular backdrops of Sherkin Island in West Cork.

In 2024 Open Ear set new standards for itself, traversing across beaches, churches & abbeys alongside our traditional home of Banger Cliff situated on the north shore of Sherkin. 2025 will again bring a diversity of sounds across the Island in what is the most expansive, varied and straight-up exciting programme yet…
