Longford lies in the middle of the country between Westmeath, Roscommon, Leitrim and Cavan, and LocalJams holds 15 venues for it: six in Longford town, two in Ballymahon, and one each in Granard, Drumlish, Abbeylara, Abbeyshrule, Ballinalee, Ballinamuck and Bunlahy. It is the one county guide where we have to be candid: at the time of writing there are no upcoming gigs in our listings for Longford, so this page describes what the county's venues have hosted in 2026 rather than what is on next week.
The Backstage Theatre in Longford town is the county's main concert room in our data, with 2026 listings that included Don Baker, the Icons of The '70s Show, the Legends of American Country Show and The Songs that Built a Nation. Cooneys Hotel in Ballymahon was the busiest venue over the summer, with country nights featuring the Sheerin Family Band, Saddletramp, Mary Hoey and Colm Burke among others, and Skellys in Ballymahon carried the Abú Music Festival in July. Creegans Pub in Bunlahy ran a series under the banner Creegans goes Country, the Clancy Bay Horse in Granard listed Chloe McTiernan, Keys & Strings and Wagon Wheel, PV Fallon in Longford town hosted a run of singer-songwriters, and the band Rurals played a circuit of village pubs: Crawfords Bar in Abbeylara, Dillons Bar in Ballinamuck, Farrells in Ballinalee, The Rustic Inn in Abbeyshrule and The Tavern Steakhouse in Drumlish. St Mel's Cathedral hosted the Longford County Choir in May.
Country is the only genre tag that appears in the Longford data. Because listings are thin, the neighbouring Westmeath guide, with Mullingar and Athlone, is the nearest place to find a booked night out.

Live music in Longford: FAQ
Where can I find live music in Longford tonight?
The listings on this page show upcoming gigs across Longford, refreshed every night. Open any gig to see the line-up, start time, ticket details and a map to the venue. For a filtered view by date, genre or price, use the Explore page.
Are there free gigs in Longford?
Sometimes, but none of the Longford gigs currently listed on this page is marked free. We only mark a gig as free when there's positive evidence for it, so the green "Free Entry" badge appears only when the venue or promoter says so. Listings refresh nightly, and the Explore page lets you filter by price.
Where can I find traditional Irish music sessions in Longford?
Our Longford listings don't currently show a traditional session pattern, and there are no upcoming gigs on file for the county at the moment. The venues above are the ones that have listed live music in 2026; check the Explore page with the Longford filter, as our crawlers add new dates nightly.
How often are Longford gig listings updated?
Every night. Our crawlers read public listings from venue websites, ticketing platforms and established what's-on guides, then clean and de-duplicate them so the listings stay accurate and focused on live music.
Can I find ticketed concerts as well as pub gigs in Longford?
Yes. LocalJams lists everything from free trad sessions to ticketed concerts and touring shows. Where a ticket page exists we link straight to it — we never sell tickets ourselves, so the venue or promoter is always the final word on prices and availability.
