The Leinster Fleadh Executive Committee have announced Louth County Council, Scotch Hall Shopping Centre, and The Hops as Platinum Sponsors of the Leinster Fleadh 2025, taking place in Drogheda from 11th–13th July.

“Their generous support will help us welcome thousands of traditional Irish musicians and music enthusiasts to our county for a vibrant weekend of concerts, dancing, competitions, and street entertainment” said Rory Scott, PRO for the Leinster Fleadh 2025.

 “We are delighted to welcome Louth County Council, Scotch Hall Shopping Centre—as Gig Rig Sponsor—and The Hops as our Food & Beverage Partner. Their commitment ensures that Drogheda will host a lively, family-friendly festival that celebrates Irish music and culture at its finest.”

“We’re thrilled to announce that Scotch Hall Shopping Centre will be the host and platinum sponsor of the Leinster Fleadh Gig Rig this year,” said Nichola Kelly, General Manager of Scotch Hall Shopping Centre.

“Scotch Hall has become synonymous with staging vibrant and memorable events, and we’re incredibly proud to bring the rich culture of Irish music and dance to our scenic plaza on the banks of the Boyne.

“We look forward to welcoming visitors from near and far to enjoy what promises to be a fantastic weekend of celebration. A sincere thank you to Comhaltas and the Fleadh committee for partnering with us to make this exciting event a reality.”

Kevin Wall from The Hops  said: “We’re incredibly proud to support the Leinster Fleadh in Drogheda as a platinum sponsor. It’s an honour to serve as the official food and beverage partner for such a vibrant celebration of Irish music and culture. We look forward to raising a glass and some tasty food with the community in the beautiful riverside terrace outside The Hops.”

In addition to this, the Leinster Fleadh are delighted to announce the first headliner for The Scotch Hall Gig Rig with All Folk’d Up set to headline Saturday 12th July with support from an All Ireland Winning Céilí Band and many more to be announced.

All Folk’d Up have garnered a reputation as one of the best new wave bands on the Irish folk circuit with a unique ability to rework old Irish folk and traditional songs, sprinkling their own modern and up-tempo twist; fans have become accustomed to hearing bouncing melodies, enticing lyrical stories, vintage Folk-Rock sounds with jaw-dropping banjo progressions.

The popular and multi-award-winning quintet Goitse will headline The Scotch Hall Gig Rig on Sunday 13th July with support from Drogheda’s finest - Rapscallion, and many more to be announced.

Goitse was forged in the white-hot creative crucible of Limerick’s Irish World Academy. Named Live Ireland’s “Traditional Group of the Year”, Chicago Irish American News’ “Group of the Year”, as well as winning the prestigious “Freiburger International Leiter 2016” award in Germany, Goitse have become a leader of the new generation of traditional Irish ensembles.
