The first of the Gleneagle INEC Arena’s ‘Inside Out Gigs’ took place over the August Bank Holiday weekend and will continue until September.

The first concert featured Ham Sandwich while a second event on Bank Holiday Monday was headlined by up and coming star Lyra.

The ‘Inside Out’ series is a new departure for the INEC and is an effort to get live music back up and running after the pandemic.
The concerts will take place on a specially constructed outdoor stage located on grounds adjacent to the Gleneagle INEC Arena. In line with government guidelines, 200 tickets are available per gig sold in pods of six.

The series of gigs is being funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Live Performance Support Scheme as revealed in the Killarney Advertiser in June.

“We’ve had to really think outside the box in order to make a safe return to live music performance and help get our colleagues in the live entertainment sector back to work. These gigs would not be financially viable under normal circumstances, but thanks to the LPSS scheme we know have twenty live acts lined up to play to intimate audiences of just 200 people per gig,” said Mark Egan, Director of Gleneagle INEC Arena.

The Inside Out gigs are subject to government guidelines, which currently allow for 200 hundred people to attend outdoor events. Tickets will be sold in pods of six and are non-transferable. Each pod will be allocated a specific arrival time and a pre-allocated, socially distanced table. Facemasks are required when arriving at and vacating the venue.
