Indiependence is an annual Irish indie-rock music festival, the 2008 edition of which took place at New Square in Mitchelstown, County Cork over the August Bank Holiday weekend (Friday 1 and Sunday 3). In its early incarnation, it was billed as Ireland’s only free independent music festival. [1] However, the festival disposed of its free status in 2009 by charging for entry.[1]
Indiependence is one of the “Little Two” music festivals in Ireland,[2] sharing many of its acts with Castlepalooza which is held on the same weekend in Tullamore, County Offaly.[1] Nevertheless, it is billed as largest event of its kind in the south of Ireland.[3] Most of the acts are Irish but non-Irish acts have performed as well, such as Super Furry Animals, Ocean Colour Scene and The Proclaimers.[1] The organiser claims that, after Oxegen and Electric Picnic, it is the biggest festival in Ireland and that there is no festival of this size in either Ireland or the UK that has a similar calibre of acts.[3]
The festival was sponsored by Guinness and Cork’s Red FM up until 2007 with Bavaria taking over a main sponsor in 2008. Red Bull joined as sponsor in 2009.
