Heineken Big Top Rescheduled to July 2022

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, GIAF 2021, which was due to take place from 12-25 July, will be postponed to 28 August-18 September. All Heineken Big Top concerts have been rescheduled to July 2022:

PIXIES: Thursday 14 July & Friday 15 July 2022
Jon Hopkins: Saturday 16 July 2022
The Stunning: Sunday 17 July 2022
The Academic: Thursday 21 July 2022

We can't wait to see you there!

If you are in a position to do so, we would very much appreciate if you could hold on to your current ticket for the concert in 2022. This will make a huge difference to the festival overall during what continues to be a difficult and uncertain time for the arts sector and nonprofit organisations like Galway International Arts Festival. Ticketholders with queries should contact [email protected].
