It is time to embrace the Lovestock adventure and join us at one of our mental health and wellness festivals embodying Irish culture and heritage, including traditional and modern music, as well as our most celebrated arts and talents that are still practiced and enjoyed across the world.
Born out of the distress of recent years, we developed a community led festival coming out of the isolation inflicted on society during lockdown, most people were starved of love and connection. As a result, we know that mental and social health suffered mostly, and we have set about to heal the damage and generate a community led festival where we embrace all that Éire has to offer in terms of arts and healing.
Éire is the only country in the world who has a musical symbol as its emblem, the harp, we appreciate the importance of music in the role of our mental health and wellbeing, as well as all the great literature, poetry, storytelling and arts that has been produced on this island as a result of our deeper struggle to communicate our pain and suffering now and historically. We have channeled it all into the globally celebrated arts that have come from this small island. In healing from our recent despair, we want to embrace and create the channels used to express pain, suffering and even joy.
The nature of the human condition faces us with challenges as we build up our defences when facing our daily interactions with friends, family and the greater world. We work hard to create a festival culture which aims to demonstrate how to love beyond the human condition. Our workshops and talks bring about this way of being in the world.
Lovestock is rich in Irish culture and traditions while we celebrate and enjoy any forms of healing to give you a weekend to remember. You will go home with new friends and amazing insights that you and your family will enjoy all year long.
In 2025 we have embarked on a new adventure, where we are keen to Build Irish Talent Together. We see that mainstream music is limited in terms of the style and genre and we know that there is an island full of new and emerging talent and we want to host that.
We are now going to local communities and locating talent that will be on our stage, all hand selected by a team of experts in music and radio, we will then hand it over to the public to vote who they want to see live at the events or online from all over the world so families and friends get to see their performances. We are being supported by some of the best known names in music bars around the country who will host our events before our main festival each year. We want to emphasize the importance of a community based approach. We will deliver what you want!
