Recorded live from the District Music Stage at All Together Now 2026, District music journalists Rachel Mae Hannon and Dray Morgan sit down with their colleague, District founder and editor Craig Connolly, to explore the evolution of festival culture in Ireland and beyond. Drawing on his decades of experience booking artists and shaping line-ups, Craig reflects on how festivals have changed, whether they have natural life cycles, and why Irish artists are enjoying one of their strongest moments in recent memory. And what better place to have this conversation than at a festival that continues to evolve and expand year after year?
