Tradition Now has developed into a veritable highlight of the trad & folk calendar, celebrating invention and evolution in traditional music, while staying true to its roots.

The next iteration of Tradition Now takes place in Autumn 2025. Full details will be announced before the summer.

In recent iterations, we have opened up various rooms in the building to allow for multiple, simultaneous performances following a headline performance so that audiences can experience a wide range of music and performers celebrating invention and evolution in traditional music, while staying true to its roots.

Tradition Now is an initiative of the Arts Council and National Concert Hall and is supported by The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media
