When Next We Meet Festival – announces first wave of acts for 2025

The boutique festival When Next We Meet is set to return to the scenic gardens of Raheen House, Clonmel, on June 7th and 8th, 2025, and the first names on the lineup have officially been revealed.

Celebrating the very best in independent and alternative music, Pillow Queens, Villagers, and Morgana will take to the festival’s stage, promising an unforgettable weekend of live music in the heart of Tipperary.

Headlining Saturday, June 7th, are Pillow Queens, the Dublin indie-rock outfit known for their powerful anthems and electrifying stage presence. Joining them is Morgana, the solo project of the former Saint Sister, bringing her spellbinding songwriting and rich soundscapes to Clonmel.

On Sunday, June 8th, the inimitable Villagers, led by the ever-brilliant Conor O’Brien, will close out the festival. With a career spanning Mercury Prize nominations and multiple critically acclaimed albums, Villagers’ set promises to be a highlight of the summer.

These are just the first of many artists set to grace the stages of When Next We Meet this June, with more homegrown talent and local acts to be announced in the coming weeks.
