What's On in Derry~Londonderry

Though Derry-Londonderry is one of the oldest cities in Ireland, the home of Teenage Kicks and Derry Girls has always been young at heart. Northern Ireland's second city has a proud musical pedigree with The Undertones, Nell McCafferty, Bronagh Gallagher, Willie Doherty, singer-songwriter SOAK and Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid all hailing from Derry-Londonderry. With so much musical talent around, it should come as no surprise that here you will find a host of music festivals to suit all tastes throughout the year - from jazz, electronic to choral and beyond.

When it comes to what’s happening in Derry-Londonderry, the best way to find out is to ask the locals as often this will lead you to unknown treasures. But here's a few ideas to get you started...
