ABOUT SPIKE

Spike Cello Festival is for anyone who loves cello.

This intimate Dublin-based festival brings audiences and world-class practitioners of non-classical cello together to showcase, celebrate and explore cello across multiple genres.

Since its inception in 2016, Spike has welcomed international guests and celebrated Irish talent across its four festivals. 2022 is our fifth festival.

Spike provides a platform for new and experimental music, and is a place of inspiring exploration for new audiences and experienced musicians alike.

This year’s festival goes all-out with activities including online workshops with cello masters, live cellos popping up all over Dublin town and two nights of an exclusive cello-based experience in Dublin’s iconic Pepper Canister Church
