In The Meadows – expands lineup to include Slowdive, Billy Nomates, Dr. John Cooper Clarke, Meryl Streek & more to join Iggy Pop at The Royal Hospital, Kilmainham in June

Following a glorious debut last year, In The Meadows is back, bringing an eclectic lineup to the scenic grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art for a full day of music across three stages. Curated by the teams behind All Together Now and Forbidden Fruit, this one-day festival is built for dedicated music lovers.

IGGY POP, the godfather of punk, is leading the charge, making his long-awaited return to Dublin after 17 years. From his pioneering days with The Stooges to his iconic solo career, Iggy’s electrifying stage presence and fearless artistry have shaped generations of music. If you haven’t seen Iggy Pop live, now is the time. 

Joining him is an unmissable lineup featuring boundary-pushing artists, including shoegaze pioneers Slowdive, whose lush sounds continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Billy Nomates, a standout voice in modern punk, brings her genre-defying, fiercely independent style to the stage following a string of critically acclaimed releases. The legendary punk poet Dr. John Cooper Clarke will make a special guest appearance, delivering his razor-sharp social commentary in his signature rapid-fire verse. Dublin’s own The Scratch bring their powerhouse blend of folk and metal, while Gilla Band are masters of avant-garde noise-rock. Sprints add their raw, emotionally charged post-punk to the mix.

From the UK’s underground scene, Warmduscher bring their off-kilter post-punk chaos, while Lambrini Girls shake things up with blistering punk. Poland’s Trupa Trupa craft hypnotic, dark rock, and Donegal’s Muireann Bradley blends bluegrass and roots with a striking voice. Meryl Streek delivers politically charged lyrics that pack a punch, and Really Good Time rounds out the bill with their infectious indie-punk anthems. 

What to Expect at In The Meadows 2025

In The Meadows is more than just a festival – it’s a carefully curated experience set in one of Dublin’s most iconic cultural locations. Expect a diverse range of artists, an electric atmosphere, and a community of true music fans. From raw punk energy to genre-defying innovators, this is where music lovers come together to celebrate live music at its absolute best – right in the heart of Dublin.
