The first acts for Galway International Arts Festival 2019 (15-28 July) have already been announced, keep an eye out for more updates coming soon: www.giaf.ie/events.
Last year's Festival was the biggest to date, with 200 events and attendance of over a quarter of a million. Named “One of the Top 20 Theatre Festivals Around the World” by American Express Essentials and "One of Europe’s Top 20 Art and Culture Festivals in 2018” by Flight Network, GIAF’s profile has continued to grow on the Irish and international stage. High attendance figures (up 20% on 2017) correlated with an estimated economic impact of €40.8 million for Galway, up from €29.5 million in 2017.
More than 600 artists participated in the 2018 Festival, bringing with them the world’s best theatre, music, opera, visual arts, street art and spectacle, circus, dance, First Thought Talks, and comedy. GIAF’s most extensive music programme yet included sold-out concerts from Madness, Caribou, The Flaming Lips, Walking On Cars, The Stunning, Kodaline and Jenny Greene and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
