Torann Punk & Metal Festival – Reveals It’s Full Lineup

Galway’s brand new dedicated punk and metal music festival, TORANN, has revealed its full lineup of shows and events ahead of January 9th’s kickoff.
 

From January 9th to 11th, the walls of Galway will shake as TORANN brings together the raw power of punk and the relentless force of metal for a weekend-long onslaught of riffs, noise and pure DIY spirit, presented by Strange Brew.

From the beating heart of Galway’s underground to national heavy-hitters and international wrecking crews, TORANN celebrates the scene that thrives in bars and backrooms – now spilling across the city.

Alongside the reveal of its full lineup, which includes Primordial, Genuflection, Death The Leveller, SWEETS, Chewie, Puck, Mother of Pearl, West Coast Punx and more, TORANN has announced a number of events taking place across the weekend, including an evening of music scene interviews hosted by Hope Collective & Irish Pop Star Archive Present (Friday, January 9th, upstairs at Róisín Dubh), an all day tattoo flash area and metal and punk exhibition at the West End Collective (Saturday, January 10th), a merchandise fair (1pm to 6pm on Saturday, January 10th at The Blue Note) and all ages shows from 2pm on Sunday, January 11th at Róisín Dubh.

Wrapping up the inaugural festival weekend with a bang will be a closing party at Róisín Dubh, with performances from Bucket, God Alone and special guests.
