Explore all Waterford gigsThe Waterford live music scene
Ireland's oldest city has a music scene that stretches from cosy pub sessions in the Viking Triangle to theatre concerts and festival weekends. Waterford's compact centre makes it easy to catch several gigs in a night, and the wider county — from Dungarvan to the coast — adds its own busy calendar of trad and contemporary shows.
