Garageland at Cruinniú na nÓg 2023
In 2023, while Garageland legends Inhaler were playing at Slane Castle with Harry Styles, we kept the home fires burning big and bright at Athlone town centre, with a massive day of youth music performances and workshops! Inhaler played all of their first shows with Garageland, and it was our pleasure! From November 2016 and their first show with us, right up until the ‘word got out’ in December 2018, it’s been a thrill to watch Inhaler go from strength to strength, and they even thanked us on the first album! See Brinda Irani, Mya Foley, KCD and many many more follow in Inhaler’s footsteps at Garageland Galaxyz 2023 and then again in Garageland Teen Spirit in November 2023.
