Already renowned as a cornerstone of Galway’s entertainment scene, The Skeff is setting a new standard for live music in the west of Ireland. This bold move aims to celebrate and support the incredible local music talent while offering an unbeatable experience to locals and tourists alike.

"We’ve always believed in the power of live music to bring people together," said Shane McMahon, General Manager at The Skeff Bar & Kitchen. "Now, we’re doubling that experience. Two bands. Every night. No exceptions. We want to make The Skeff the place to be for anyone who loves great music and a vibrant late-night atmosphere. We have six distinct bars here in the Skeff and we are lucky to be able to offer a wide variety of experiences to our customers, our live music offering is a cornerstone of our entertainment line-up."

The new entertainment schedule will showcase a broad mix of genres, reflecting the eclectic spirit of Galway’s music scene. From folk to funk, soul to indie, classic rock to contemporary hits – the nightly double-bill promises something for everyone.

The new music initiative is part of The Skeff’s broader commitment to revitalising Galway’s night-time economy post-pandemic and offering consistent, high-quality entertainment that puts the customer experience first.

"Galway deserves a venue that treats every night like a Saturday," said McMahon "Whether you’re here for a casual pint, celebrating with friends, or just looking for a great night out, The Skeff will deliver. We’re raising the bar for live music – quite literally."

Whether it’s a Monday wind-down, a midweek sing-along, or a Saturday blowout, the new lineup guarantees that every night at The Skeff is an occasion to enjoy!

In keeping with The Skeff’s longstanding commitment to supporting Irish artists, the expanded lineup will feature a rotating roster of local musicians and bands, alongside special guests and touring acts. "This is a huge opportunity for emerging artists to play on a city-centre stage in front of a diverse, music-loving crowd," added McMahone. "Galway has an incredible pool of talent, and we’re thrilled to give them a platform 365 days a year."
