Mitchelstown businesses fearful as Indiependence team yet to confirm 2016 site

Businesses and local representatives in Mitchelstown are fearful the Indiependence music festival may leave the Co Cork town.

Organisers of the event have yet to confirm the location of next year’s festival, which celebrated its 10th consecutive year in Mitchelstown this summer, amid rumours that Indiependence may move to another town.

However Shane Dunne, managing director of Indiependence, said the promoters are working towards keeping the event in the town, which has hosted it since its debut in 2006.
