Background
INDIEPENDENCE first started as a free festival in the town square in Mitchelstown, running as such in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Over these years artists such as The Frank & Walters, Gemma Hayes, The Republic of Loose, The Sultans of Ping, Delorentos, Director and The Blizzards performed at the single stage event. After capacity crowds in 2008, the festival moved to a green field site at O'Connell Park in 2009 and charged entry for the first time. Despite poor weather, the festival featuring The Super Furry Animals, Ocean Colour Scene, Villagers, The Blizzards and many more was a success and the festival moved to its current home at Deer Farm in 2010.
