Few Irish cities pack as much live music into their medieval streets as Kilkenny, where traditional sessions run nightly at venues like Kyteler's Inn and Matt The Millers, and a 400-capacity state-of-the-art room at the Set Theatre handles everything from touring bands to comedy. The city's traditional and folk roots run deep, reinforced annually by Kilkenny Tradfest and the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, which drew over 60,000 visitors across its two-year stint here. That foundation coexists with a serious rock history, anchored by post-grunge band Kerbdog in the 1990s, and a current crop of originals spanning indie pop, death metal, and experimental composition. The Kilkenny Arts Festival, running since 1974, extends the calendar into classical and jazz territory, using St Canice's Cathedral and Kilkenny Castle as concert spaces.
