What the f**k is WTAF!?
A bold, alternative festival in Galway celebrating theatre, music, art, drag, circus, comedy, and more in non-traditional spaces.
Who Is This For?
WTAF!? Is geared towards new and emerging artists and younger creative communities, with a rebellious spirit that disrupts the status quo.
It’s for the punk poets, DIY dramatists, rogue musicians, chaotic creators, and anyone who's ever felt like they don’t fit the mould (or never wanted to in the first place).
If you’ve ever been told your work is too … different, too out there or doesn’t ‘fit’ the box as per say , then this is the place for you.
How to get involved
Each year we have an Open Call for acts. Our programming is focused first and foremost on local talent from Galway and the West of Ireland. Our festival does not currently programme international acts. But hey, maybe some day!
Once you apply, the Festival Team curates the programme from the applications.
What’s the Vibe?
WTAF? is a festival of the in-between spaces – the back rooms, the basements,
the rooftops, the streets; the places where the underground art community
hostels and bustles. We are turning alternative venues of Galway’s WestEnd
into a playground for:
🎭 Theatre
🎸 Music
🎤 Spoken Word
🎨 Visual Art
🎬 Film
& whatever else you dream up.
