Now in its third year, Common Threads returns to the wild beauty of North Clare from October 10th to 12th, inviting audiences on a three-day journey of music, art, and cultural discovery through the breath-taking Burren landscape.

Curated by Clare native Daithí Ó Dronaí and Peter Kelly, the 2025 programme features a rich mix of tradition and innovation.

To find out more about this year’s vision for the festival, Derrick Lynch was joined by Daithí O Dronaí, co-curator of Common Threads festival.
