What a festival!!?? Like… what the actual fk lads?!🫨😍
We’ve had an unbelievable 10 days, jam-packed with the weird and the wonderful. Stunning art. Phenomenal music. Show-stopping performances. And most importantly… unreal people!!!!
To everyone who came, danced, shouted, sang, helped out, tried something new or simply wandered into the Westend and asked “what the actual f**k is going on?”.. Go raibh míle 🫶
And to the community of the Westend that gave us a chance. To kind individuals in the sector doing their best to support emerging artists within a system that often doesn’t. And to sponsors who backed our vision and helped create space for new work to be seen during one of Galway’s most buzzing time of the year.
Thank you to Malachy Duggan, Lisa Regan, Karen Healy, Ado Lyons and everyone else at Galway’s Westend for helping us make WTAF!? happen. To our drinks sponsor The White Hag; thank you for providing the best beer in town and supporting us from day one. And huge thanks to the Westend Art Collective, the Roisín Dubh, BóTown, Taylor’s Bar, Massimo, and of course the Blue Note.
Lastly, to our amazing festival photographer .lenses45 - who worked tirelessly to capture WTAF!? in the most beautiful way 📸
This was our first ever festival and we couldn’t be prouder of what we created.
We’re signing off for now to rest our little heads… but we’ll be back next year for round two 😉🙌
See you in 2026 👋
