Barry Deegan Returns to the Folly Stage — Saturday, July 5th

We’re thrilled to welcome back local rising star Barry Deegan to the Folly Festival for a highly anticipated performance on Saturday, July 5th.

After delivering an unforgettable set in 2024 opening for The Scratch, Barry has only continued to climb. With a distinctive voice and a natural flair for blending Irish, folk, and country influences, his music strikes a chord with audiences across the country. His original songs — including the popular “Missing You,” which racked up nearly 5,000 streams in its first week — have earned him airplay on KCLR, Beat 102-103, and SPIN South West, as well as featured interviews and media coverage.

2024 has been a milestone year for Barry, with four new singles released, and a brand-new track dropping this May — bringing his total discography to six releases, including a widely-loved Christmas cover of Fairytale of New York(performed with Katelyn Coffey), which could be heard in shops and public spaces all across Ireland.

With nearly 100,000 streams across platforms and a growing TikTok following to match, Barry is turning heads both online and on stage. He regularly performs live across venues throughout Ireland, bringing a mix of heartfelt originals and crowd-favourite covers to every show.

Whether you caught his set last year or are seeing him for the first time, don’t miss Barry Deegan live at the Folly Festival 2025 — this hometown talent is one to watch.
