Rock Farm is a well-known nightlife venue located in County Meath, Ireland, situated amid the rolling hills and scenic beauty of the Boyne Valley. Established in the early 2010s as part of the broader Rock Farm Slane eco-tourism project, the nightclub began as an experimental extension of the region’s music and cultural scene. Although originally intended to serve as a community space for gatherings and music events associated with the nearby Slane Castle concerts, Rock Farm quickly garnered a distinct identity.
It gained a reputation for its blend of rural charm with cutting-edge electronic and live music, drawing crowds from across Ireland and beyond. The venue’s unique structure—a restored barn equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting—set it apart from typical nightclubs and made it especially popular for after-parties following large-scale events at Slane Castle. Over the years, Rock Farm has undergone several transformations, with expansions to its indoor and outdoor facilities and enhancements to its sustainable infrastructure, reflecting the area's commitment to eco-friendly practices.
Its reputation has continued to rise thanks to its vibrant programming and inclusivity, with the venue also acting as a platform for emerging Irish talent. Culturally, Rock Farm stands as a symbol of the Boyne Valley's ongoing reinvention as a contemporary arts and music destination, bridging traditional rural Ireland with modern nightlife. While it has always remained at its original location within the organic farm estate, the interiors have been renovated multiple times to accommodate a growing audience and updated safety regulations.
Notable artists who have performed at Rock Farm include international acts such as Gorgon City, Annie Mac, and Carl Cox, alongside prominent local talents like Irish DJ duo Dec Pierce, singer-songwriter Imelda May, and electronic producer Kormac. The venue has also hosted special showcase nights featuring acts like The Academic and DJ sets by Today FM’s Fergal D’Arcy, further cementing its status as a must-visit destination for music lovers.
The capacity of Rock Farm is 5000.
