Conference website: https://www.showingroots.com/Your Roots Are Showing is Ireland’s international music industry conference and showcase event, celebrating the evolving landscape of folk, roots, and culturally connected genres from around the world. Based in Ireland and rooted in heritage, the event bridges tradition with innovation—supporting everything from Irish traditional music to Americana, bluegrass, world music, alt-folk, and contemporary acoustic sounds.
Through professional development, international showcasing, and cultural exchange, YRAS brings together artists, presenters, educators, and industry leaders for five days of collaboration, connection, and discovery. Whether you’re steeped in tradition or pushing boundaries, Your Roots Are Showing is where global music conversations begin.
Step into the room where music careers move forward.
Showcases put emerging and established artists on the same stages, sparking connections and opportunities that continue long after the week ends.
The Gig Fair brings festivals, agents, labels, promoters, and media together so conversations can turn into real momentum.
Workshops and panels give artists practical tools—craft, strategy, business, and industry knowledge—across all genres.
And at night, Belfast comes alive with the Music Trail, turning the city into one big stage.
Your Roots Are Showing is where artists and industry connect, create, and move toward what’s next.
Conference dates: 14-18 January
