MISNEACH X The Doss House
Step into the world of The Doss House, an intimate underground bar built in the 1840s, nestled in the historic heart of The Rocks. Known as one of Sydney’s finest establishments, The Doss House is bringing its signature atmosphere to the festival with the exclusive Doss House Seisiúin Area in The Domain – a celebration of Irish culture, tradition, and music. Expect an incredible line-up of emerging Irish talent, premium Irish spirits, pints of Guinness, and exclusive handcrafted cocktails.

This is your moment to shine: two rising artists will win a once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform on The Doss House Emerging Artists Stage – handpicked by Doss House together with the management team of Dermot himself!

With Dermot passionate about supporting the next generation of Irish musicians, two winners will be selected to join the Doss House stage line-up at MISNEACH. To enter, simply post a video of yourself performing and tag @thedosshouse and @misneachfestival on Instagram!
