Despite Covid-19, IndieCork festival to go ahead in cinema and online

The co-directors of IndieCork said they saw the impact of Covid-19 on festivals and events across the company but they were determined to bring IndieCork back this year.

In a year that has seen major festivals fall like dominos, the launch of an old favourite is welcome news.

Despite stalwarts such as the St Patrick’s Festival and the Cork Jazz Festival delaying and cancelling their offerings for 2020, the IndieCork Festival will be returning next month, both in a new online capacity and physically in cinema theatres.
