Seven chapters in, and All Together Now is still making the rest of Ireland’s festival scene look ordinary. The Curraghmore Estate lineup for July 30 to August 2, 2026 is headlined by Pulp, Kneecap, Disclosure (DJ set), and Underworld — and that’s before you get to the 60-plus acts filling the other 17 stages across the Co. Waterford grounds. Sold out. Again.
That “sold out” status matters because it tells you something real: this isn’t a festival that survives on hype. It earns it. All Together Now has spent seven years building a reputation for booking lineups that feel curated rather than algorithmic, with a genuine commitment to Irish talent that most festivals pay lip service to and very few actually deliver.

The Headliners Make the Case
Pulp headline Friday, July 30 — their first festival headline slot in 15 years, and the timing couldn’t be sharper. After releasing their first album in 24 years last summer, Jarvis Cocker and company have been reminding everyone why Britpop’s peak actually meant something. A Friday night set in the Irish countryside from one of the genre’s most literate, tragicomic acts is exactly the kind of booking that ages well in the memory.
Kneecap were announced back in December as their sole Irish festival appearance of 2026 — a statement booking before their new album Fenian drops in April. The Belfast hip-hop trio have become one of the most politically charged and genuinely exciting live acts in the world right now. Expect chaos, conviction, and the kind of set that gets talked about for years.
Disclosure playing a DJ set and Underworld rounding out the headline tier gives ATN a proper electronic backbone. Settle turned 13 this year and still sounds like the future; Underworld‘s catalogue from Born Slippy onwards is almost too big for one field in Waterford.
The Supporting Tier Is the Story
Beyond the four headliners, the card is quietly exceptional. Maribou State playing a live set, Floating Points live, Mogwai, Ezra Collective, Mall Grab, Kerri Chandler, The Avalanches in DJ mode, Joy Orbison, Job Jobse — this is a mid-tier that most festivals would kill to have as their headline block.
Kae Tempest is one of the most compelling performers working in British spoken word and hip-hop right now. Self Esteem brings her sharp, theatrical pop to the Irish countryside. Annie Mac plays a standalone Thursday night set — the kind of opening night slot that sets the tone for the whole weekend.
Chet Faker returns to live performance with the atmospheric electronic soul that made Built on Glass such a quiet classic. Greentea Peng and Say She She add depth and range to a lineup that never feels like it’s chasing the same lane twice.
Ireland’s Own
Close to half the acts are Irish — and not in a tokenistic way. Christy Moore, making his first festival appearance in over 14 years, is a moment unto itself. The Mary Wallopers, Damien Dempsey, Gilla Band, For Those I Love, Soda Blonde, Sprints, Gurriers, BIIRD, Kean Kavanagh, SexyTadhg, David Keenan, Muireann Bradley, RÓIS, Cardinals, The New Eves, Brógeal — the depth of Irish representation here is genuinely staggering.
Friendly Fires, Lambrini Girls, Dry Cleaning, Anna von Hausswolff, Barrington Levy, Moonchild Sanelly, Maruja, Getdown Services, The Dare (DJ set), Jyoty, Rose Betts, W.I.T.C.H., Alabaster DePlume, Sassy 009, Sam Alfred, David Kitt performing The Big Romance, King Kong Company, Sophia Stel, Seamus Fogarty, Black Nylon, The Orchestra (For Now), Gently Tender, The Itch, Hank, Little Grandad, George Houston, Sell Everything, Cable Boy, BABYRAT, DOG SWIM, Nialler9, Echo Northstar, and Trinity Orchestra fill out 18 stages across the estate. You will not see everything. That’s kind of the point.
What Makes Curraghmore Different
Curraghmore Estate is the real deal — a sprawling private demesne in Co. Waterford with woodland, open fields, formal gardens, and 18 stages spread across grounds that make the whole thing feel more like a discovery than a festival. The contrast between the manicured setting and the noise coming off the stages is a big part of the appeal. You can go from a Mogwai set to a wellness workshop to a comedy tent in under ten minutes on foot, and somehow it all makes sense.
Irish August Bank Holiday Weekend means the majority of the crowd are domestic — this is a festival that actually belongs to Ireland rather than just being held there. The vibe reflects that. Less performative than the bigger European camping festivals, more genuinely social, and with food and arts programming that treats those things as first-class citizens rather than afterthoughts.
Planning the Weekend
Camping is king. Multi-night ticket holders who camp on-site get the full Curraghmore experience — the grounds are beautiful and mornings on the estate before the stages open are genuinely worth the tent setup hassle.
Boutique camping options sell out fast and are worth investigating if you want the experience without the logistics. Pre-pitched options are listed on the official site.
Getting there from Dublin: the festival runs shuttles from Dublin city centre. Check the ATN info page for coach options — driving and parking is possible but the bus is easier.
Thursday night matters. Annie Mac‘s standalone set opens the weekend — don’t treat it as optional. The Thursday atmosphere is its own thing, quieter crowds, long evenings, excellent at the stage.
The Curious Minds programming — talks, debates, workshops — is consistently one of the most underrated parts of ATN. It runs across the full weekend and has featured everything from climate discussions to stand-up philosophy. Build it into your schedule.
Weather is Ireland in late July, which means pack for everything. Rain gear you won’t need to think about, layers for the evenings, and something you don’t mind getting muddy. The 2024 edition tested people; 2026 will be whatever it will be.
Seven editions in and All Together Now has done something difficult: built a festival with genuine cultural identity in a crowded market. The 2026 card — Pulp, Kneecap, Disclosure, Underworld at the top, and 70 acts across 18 stages below — is the strongest argument yet that this is one of Europe’s essential summer weekends. Sold out is the one complication. Check resale, sort your travel, and sort accommodation early.
