Supported by The Arts Council of Ireland and The National Concert Hall, Garageland is delighted to announce a brand new kind of event.

Supporting young artists who have previously performed on Garageland Youth Music shows such as Garageland Galaxyz, Garageland Teen Spirit, and the many other youth music events we produce with our partners, Garageland Graduates is a unique event, focussed on arming these new recruits with the tools they will need as they head into the world of Over 18’s shows as young independent artists.

Five artists will take part in a variety of workshops during the daytime, and then the public is invited to come and join us for a very special evening as these artists perform their own original music in the beautiful and supportive setting of The National Concert Hall Studio Room.

Featuring Grace Nugent & Fiona Vargas - Dopamine - Eabha O’Keeffe & Summer O’Callaghan – The Tanseys – Karibu Sana

Grace Nugent is one of the founding members of The Ephades, who blew us all away at their Garageland Teen Spirit show a little while back in Buncrana, and she has now teamed up with Fiona Vargas, who also blew us away with her National Concert Hall performance at Garageland Galaxyz at Cruinniú na nÓg in 2022!

Hot Press noted, “a surefire, certified banger that is set to cement The Ephades as one of Ireland’s most exciting young rock bands.”

Artists who've started on Garageland events include Florence Road, Inhaler, The Script and many more..
