The Wipeout Festival in Strandhill, Co. Sligo is a free, summer event that blends live music, local art, and surf culture right by the Atlantic at the National Surf Centre. Usually held in mid-July, it showcases emerging Irish bands in a relaxed outdoor setting during the day, with additional gigs and after-parties in nearby pubs later on. It’s known for its laid-back, community-driven vibe and is a great way to experience Sligo’s coastal culture, combining music, sea views, and a casual festival atmosphere.
