Music Generation Musicians Join U2 for 50th Anniversary Performance at Mount Temple
32 young Music Generation musicians representing every county in Ireland took the stage with U2 to mark the band's 50th Anniversary on 25th September 2026.
Music Generation is packing its tent and wellington boots and is off to the Electric Picnic in Stradbally, Co Laois, 29-31 August.
Naturally, Music Generation Laois will be strongly represented over the course of the weekend with a performance by its Trad Group on the Raidió na Life stage and the Stampede Drummers in Trenchtown. The Music Generation Limerick City Bus will welcome visitors on board to try out its facilities and will host workshops and performances over the three days.
On Saturday 30th August a choir of 80 children and young people from several Music Education Partnerships - Carlow, Laois, Donegal and Offaly / Westmeath, will join forces for the ‘One Voice’ choir performances throughout the day.
An exact schedule of all Music Generation performances and workshops at Electric Picnic will be announced soon so come along and join us if you’re there!
