The festival years.
A source-led archive of Lingo’s Dublin spoken-word festival and its earlier web addresses.
—2016
A stage for the spoken word.
Lingo brought spoken-word poetry, slams, open mics, and performance to Dublin. Contemporary accounts and later research document the festival’s place in Ireland’s spoken-word scene.
The pages below preserve the subject of earlier addresses. They are new archive notes, with links to the surviving evidence. The two programme PDFs are replacement reference documents, rather than reproductions of the original programmes. This archive does not sell tickets or announce a new festival.
