Dermot Kennedy has launched his first festival, MISNEACH, to celebrate Irish music and culture. The festival, meaning "courage" in Gaelic, kicked off on March 16 in Sydney, Australia, with plans for events in Boston on March 18 and 19. Kennedy curated the lineup with Irish artists, including The Frames and The Swell Season. He aims to highlight Ireland's musical legacy and foster community among Irish artists and fans. The festival concept developed over several years, focusing on authenticity and direct engagement with fans. Kennedy's new single, "Let Me In," was released just before the festival. His team hopes MISNEACH will become an annual event in cities with large Irish communities, emphasizing support for local talent and giving back to Ireland.
