School of rock

Friday 11th September 2026

Are you ready to feel the buzz of a live stage?

School of Rock at Full Moon Rising Kilmeedy music festival is all about giving young musicians the chance to shine — no pressure, no competition, just music, fun, and experience.

If you’re in a band, a duo, or a solo act and you’re under 18, we’d love to hear your sound. Whether you play indie, punk, pop, trad, metal, or something totally unique, this is your chance to perform in front of your peers and the Full Moon Rising crowd.

Here’s what you’ll get to experience:

  • Play your music on a professional festival stage

  • Build your confidence and stage presence

  • Connect with other young artists and music lovers

  • Share your sound with a whole new audience

The School of Rock showcase kicks off the Full Moon Rising weekend on Friday, 11th September 2026, and promises to be one of the most exciting nights of the festival. To apply send us:

  • Your act's name

  • A short description of your music

  • A contact phone number

  • A short recording of your act (if available, no pressure)

Thanks to everyone who signed up in 2025!
