Nív

We’re delighted to welcome rising star Nív to the Folly Festival stage this summer.

A gifted singer-songwriter from Kildare, now based in Dublin, Nív has been making waves across Ireland’s music scene with her soulful lyrics, distinctive sound, and powerful live performances.

In 2024, she was awarded the prestigious Dermot Kennedy BIMM Scholarship, and she has since gone on to release her debut EP, Writer’s Block. Its lead single “God Knows” launched with a SOLD OUT show at Whelan’s Dublin, marking a major milestone in her emerging career.

Nív has brought her heartfelt music to some of the country’s best-known stages and festivals, including Electric Picnic, Vantastival, Brigid 2025, The Sugar Club, and The Workman’s Club. Her tracks have reached over 49,000 Spotify streams and 25,000 new listeners in 73 countries, proving her appeal is already going global.

She has also featured on RTÉ Radio 1’s Recommends List, and appeared as a musical guest on Ray D’Arcy’s Mixtape Special with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, performing alongside a stellar lineup including Declan O’Rourke, Tolu Makay, and more.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to catch Nív live in the magical setting of Nancy’s Yard at Folly Festival 2025 — a standout performance in the making.
