This year's event had been called off due to Covid-19, and although plans had been in place to hold a festival at the town next year, those have now been scrapped

The annual Indiependence music festival is to leave Mitchelstown after 15 years.

Organisers confirmed the festival is "looking to the future, to something new", but that it will not take place in the north Cork town which has been its home for 15 years.
