In The Meadows 2025: Dublin’s Epic Festival Returns!

Get ready, Dublin—In The Meadows is back for 2025, bringing another unforgettable day of music on Saturday, June 7th, 2025! Following a fantastic debut, this one-day festival returns to the beautiful grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) in Kilmainham, right in the heart of Dublin. Curated by the creative minds behind All Together Now and Forbidden Fruit, this year’s lineup promises to be another hit, with an eclectic mix of boundary-pushing acts set to perform across three stages.

Headlining this year is the legendary Iggy Pop, making his first appearance in Dublin in 17 years. Known as the godfather of punk, Iggy Pop’s influence spans generations, from his days with The Stooges to his electrifying solo career. His dynamic stage presence has earned him a devoted fan base, and this is a performance you won’t want to miss. Iggy said it best: “If you’re not gonna do it, I’ll do it for ya, I’ll do it first.” Now’s your chance to experience his raw energy live!

Joining Iggy Pop on stage is a stellar lineup that showcases both local Irish talent and international acts, including:

  • The Scratch – A Dublin-based group blending Irish folk, heavy metal, and stadium rock. Known for high-energy shows, The Scratch is a must-see for fans of genre-bending music.
  • Gilla Band – Dublin’s own noise-rock heroes, who mix techno beats with wailing guitars for a sound that’s both chaotic and captivating.
  • Sprints – Rapidly rising stars with a Top 20 debut album and support slots with IDLES and Pixies, Sprints bring powerful performances and raw songwriting to the stage.
  • Warmduscher – London’s underground scene staple, delivering a gritty, genre-defying post-punk experience with a devoted cult following.
  • Lambrini Girls – Brighton’s high-energy duo releasing their debut album in January 2025. Known for explosive live shows and sharp humour, they’re bound to leave an impression.
  • Trupa Trupa – A Polish band blending post-punk with psychedelia and art-rock, crafting immersive soundscapes and intense live performances.
