1 Plus Events presents the Sláinte Festival a virtual music festival featuring world-famous Irish artists, such as The Walls / The Stunning, The 4 of Us, Mickey Joe Harte, Duke Special, Goats Don’t Shave, Eoin Glackin and many more.
To further tie the festival to traditional Irish culture, it was shot in three iconic and historical locations: the Viking Theatre in Dublin, the Druid Theatre in Galway and Glenveagh Castle in Donegal. In each venue, we carefully created a safe environment for all artists and staff. Social distancing guidelines were strictly practiced during the entire production.

“1 Plus Events was excellent at capturing the essence of Galway in the show and integrating images
from the city into the performance to showcase the city to the world.”
“Sláinte Festival is a great idea and a really interesting platform, with its own unique twist, for promoting Irish music, art and culture. The top-class production quality on their work so far speaks for itself. It was a joy to be a part of and on top of everything, as an artist, I can use the professional performance footage as a tool to further promote my music in the future. Sláinte Festival is brilliant and long may it run.”
