The Irish Folk Festival is set to take place on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 20:00 to 22:00 at the Bürgerhaus Unterföhring, located at Münchner Straße 65, 85774 Unterföhring. This year's festival features an exciting lineup under the tour title 'Fair Play', which carries a double meaning in Irish slang: it signifies both 'well done' or 'bravo' and the importance of respecting the rules of the game. Ireland has a rich tradition of Rebel Songs that demand freedom and justice.

This year's performers include Tom Byrne, who mesmerizes audiences with his harmonica, showcasing a remarkable range of sounds and decorations. Tyler Schwarz, recognized as the best dancer of 2019 by 'Irish Dance Magazine', will join forces with US tap dancer Maddie Rae Russo to present an Irish-American dance spectacle with their group Reelrhythm. Additionally, singer-songwriter Eva Coyle brings a unique timbre to her music, blending a folky sound with traditional Irish instruments like the fiddle and accordion. Her band, along with 3 On The Bund, will not only explore Irish traditions but also venture into world music, delivering a sound filled with innovative ideas.

As noted by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 'When it comes to the representation of Irish music, the Irish Folk Festival remains the benchmark.'
