 

The Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival has been confirmed for 2027.

 

The popular event which attracts thousands of people to Ballyshannon every year was dealt a major blow during the summer after the collapse of Tickets.ie which left the festival in deficit of over 280,000 euro in ticket sales.

 

Last month, the festival announced it was seeking support from Europe for safeguards for ticket revenue.

 

The future of the festival was very much in doubt however a gofundme page set up in the wake of the controversy has raised over €100,000 which paves the way for its survival.

 

Former Donegal County Councillor and volunteer at the Rory Gallagher Festival, Barry Sweeny says the event is crucial to the local economy and paid tribute to the organisers:
