INDIEPENDENCE is an award winning festival weekender which takes place on the outskirts of Mitchelstown in north Cork each year on the August Bank Holiday weekend. The festival features a wide variety of artists as well as comedy, spoken word, a small cinema and other attractions. INDIE as it is known has been shortlisted as one of the best small festivals in Europe several times as well as winning awards within Ireland. The festival's attendance and line-up has grown each year since its inception as a free event in 2006. The 2015 installment will be the 10th.

INDIEPENDENCE first started as a free festival in the town square in Mitchelstown, running as such in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Over these years artists such as The Frank & Walters, Gemma Hayes, The Republic of Loose, The Sultans of Ping, Delorentos, Director and The Blizzards performed at the single stage event. After capacity crowds in 2008, the festival moved to a green field site at O'Connell Park in 2009 and charged entry for the first time. Despite poor weather, the festival featuring The Super Furry Animals, Ocean Colour Scene, Villagers, The Blizzards and many more was a success and the festival moved to its current home at Deer Farm in 2010.
