Knockanstockan began with the idea that musicians needed to group together to share, showcase and ultimately celebrate their music with friends in order to crack the elusive music industry. At venues around Dublin the collective of artists known as the ‘Primal Jelly Social Club’ burst onto an stagnant live music scene, creating new platforms for themselves and the city’s other hard-working bands and performers. But more was needed.

In 2007, a small mini-camping festival and musical weekend in The Ballyknockan Inn o�ered 40 acts ‘A musician’s festival for musicians’.

Knockanstockan was born!

The Community The communities of Lacken and Ballyknockan have become an integral part of the Knockastockan music festival since it began in 2007. The support and co-operation of the residents is vital to the continual growth and success of the festival. Everyone involved in Knockanstockan believes that giving back to the community is a top priority.
