Open Ear Festival 2027
Sarah Pagel · 1 June 2026
Open Ear Festival is an annual Irish electronic music event on Sherkin Island, celebrated for its intimate atmosphere and focus on experimental, avant-garde sounds and site-specific installations. It champions underrepresented Irish artists and offers a unique "one stage, one audience" experience for its limited attendees.
What Open Ear Festival offers
The sound system will be unforgiving. Loop lets you hear every detail at a safe volume – no ringing on the train home. We love recommending a product we've been using ourselves for years.
