Live Music in Westmeath
Mullingar and Athlone share Westmeath's live music between them: the Mullingar Arts Centre and Clarkes Bar Fighting Cocks on one side, the Radisson Blu's folk concerts and the Dean Crowe Theatre on the other, with Moate's Tuar Ard in between. LocalJams tracks every listed gig across the county, updated nightly.
Explore all Westmeath gigsThe Westmeath live music scene
Westmeath sits in the heart of the midlands around Lough Ennell, Lough Owel and Lough Ree, bordered by Longford, Meath, Offaly, Roscommon and Cavan, and LocalJams holds 37 venues for it, split evenly between Athlone and Mullingar with 13 each, plus Moate, Castlepollard, Killucan and Multyfarnham. Just under 50 gigs are listed over the coming months, about half of them ticketed, and folk is the leading tag ahead of country and rock.
Mullingar carries the larger share of upcoming dates. The Mullingar Arts Centre on Mount Street is the busiest listed venue, with Natural Women, The Piano Man, Doris Day: A Date and The Muddy River Band, while Clarkes Bar Fighting Cocks runs weekend pub gigs through October with Pub Fiction, Dec Feery and Chris Loughrey, and The Chambers Bar lists late-night tributes to Alanis Morissette and Pink Floyd plus Boys From The Black Stuff's Shane MacGowan show. Tullynally Castle at Castlepollard hosts a Saturday concert series with the Ora Quartet, the Cheng2 Duo and Niall Breslin. On the Athlone side, the Radisson Blu on Northgate Street has a folk run of Gearóid McCarthy, The Highstool Prophets, Dan McCabe and The High Kings, and the Dean Crowe Theatre lists Made In Tennessee and an Ultimate Garth Brooks Experience. Between the two towns, Tuar Ard Arts Centre in Moate carries Songbird, Gerry Guthrie, Nashville and Patrick Feeney, and the Greville Arms Hotel elsewhere in the county adds a Tina Turner tribute and Foster and Allen.
No free-entry gigs are flagged in Westmeath at present and the data shows no weekly session pattern.

All venuesLive music in Westmeath: FAQ
Where can I find live music in Westmeath tonight?
The listings on this page show upcoming gigs across Westmeath, 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 Westmeath?
Sometimes, but none of the Westmeath 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 Westmeath?
Our Westmeath listings don't currently show a weekly traditional session; the county's calendar is built on ticketed concerts in Mullingar, Athlone and Moate and weekend pub gigs at Clarkes Bar Fighting Cocks. Check the Explore page with the Westmeath filter for new session listings, refreshed nightly.
How often are Westmeath 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 Westmeath?
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.
