Performances
The Hub offers unrivalled space, height and capacity in the south-east for all types of performances, from rock and pop concerts to large scale theatre spectacles.
With Kilkenny already firmly established as a popular destination for entertainment, with various festivals and concerts such as the Source Festival, Kilkenny Arts Festival, the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival, the Rhythm & Roots Festival etc, The Hub will add Kilkenny to the circuit for year-round music and theatre events on a scale for which the south east could previously not provide.
