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 and Music Network join forces this autumn, offering workshops for children and young people, delivered by highly acclaimed Music Network Autumn 2014 touring artists.
From September, young Music Generation participants will experience music workshops led by Traditional Irish musician Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and award-winning German cellist Leonard Elschenbroich.
