KnockanStockan is an Irish independent music festival established in 2007.
Each year the festival takes place on farmland overlooking the Blessington Lakes, near Blessington in County Wicklow.
In 2007, a musical weekend at The Ballyknockan Inn, with camping facilities available, offered forty acts. Marketed as "A musician’s festival for musicians," this became the basis for KnockanStockan. In 2008 the festival moved to a local farm, and grew to three days and three stages, with over 100 acts, and in 2009, it passed 140 acts. Growth continued in 2010, and Dimestore Recordings and Jack of Diamonds Productions hosted a stage with the best of their acts from their weekly events.
