MPI Artists is one of Ireland’s leading entertainment agencies, based in Dublin and known for its hands-on, artist-focused approach. Since its founding in 2004 by Martin Nolan, MPI has built a strong reputation for representing a wide mix of talent across genres—from rock and pop to folk, comedy, and electronic music.

What sets MPI apart is not just the diversity of its roster, but its ability to connect artists with the right stages, festivals, and audiences worldwide. They’ve worked with celebrated names like Frances Black, The Saw Doctors, Shane MacGowan, and The High Kings, helping these acts reach new heights. In a major milestone, MPI landed a five-year global touring deal (excluding North America) for none other than Snoop Dogg—a testament to their growing international presence.

Beyond artist bookings, MPI is also deeply involved in event and festival programming. A standout example is their role in producing the Púca Festival, a Halloween-themed celebration of Irish culture through music, comedy, and storytelling. The 2022 edition alone attracted over 36,000 attendees, reflecting MPI’s talent not only in artist management but in delivering large-scale, memorable events.

With Martin Nolan and business partner Julian O’Brien at the helm, MPI continues to grow its influence far beyond Ireland. Their mix of industry experience, passion for music, and innovative thinking makes them a powerhouse in both the Irish and global entertainment scenes.
