Celebrating Music

St. Flannan’s Cathedral, Killaloe

Nestled between the historic twin towns of Ballina-Killaloe, St. Flannan’s Cathedral will celebrate the 14th annual SCS Killaloe Music Festival on 29th May to 1st June 2026.

Last year, our new Artistic Director Diane Daly took the helm, putting her own original spin on the festival to great success. We look forward to sharing another wonderful weekend of music with you this summer.


Music gives a soul to the universe,
wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,
and life to everything
