A huge name in the music world is set to perform in Kilkenny in December

New Watergate Urban Park confirmed as venue for exciting Kilkenny concert

The Watergate Urban Park is set to officially open this Christmas with an exciting concert scheduled for Friday, December 19 at 6pm.

The new local location hopes to provide a setting that can be used for a number of events as well as thoroughfare for pedestrians and cyclists, linking Abbey Street and Parliament Street with the adjacent Abbey Quarter Development as well.

Next month, performer R.S.A.G. will mark the beginning of a new era at the new venue, bringing his one-man show to Kilkenny's Yulefest festival, with music fans from near and far set to flock to the Marble City.

EXPLAINER: What can we expect from the new urban park being developed in Kilkenny?

"One of Europe’s most acclaimed drummers and showmen, Jeremy Hickey has wowed audiences worldwide with his explosive performances, acclaimed albums (including Chroma, named one of the best albums of 2020), and collaborations with major international artists," a festival organiser said.

Supported by Kilkenny County Council’s Night Time Economy Initiative. Proceeds go toward the Kilkenny Music Generation Instrument Fund.
