The All Together Now Festival, scheduled for 31 July to 3 August, will unfold across the sprawling Curraghmore Estate in Co. Waterford, Ireland, offering a diverse programme of music, arts, and wellness activities over the August bank holiday weekend.
Visitors can expect performances across 18 stages, featuring artists such as FontaineDC, Nelly Furtado, BICEP with their CHROMA AV DJ set, London Grammar, CMAT, Michael Kiwanuka, Wet Leg, and Leftfield, alongside emerging acts like Nilüfer Yanya, John Grant, and Geordie Greep.
The lineup includes Irish debuts from artists such as Everything Is Recorded, Arc De Soleil, and Don West, ensuring a mix of established and new talent. Beyond music, the festival offers spoken word sessions, comedy, theatre, and workshops, with art installations scattered across the estate’s 3,000 acres of parkland, forests, and natural amphitheatres.
Wellness activities, including yoga and holistic sessions, cater to those seeking relaxation, while food stalls serve artisan cocktails and local cuisine. Family-friendly options include activities for children, with free entry for under-12s accompanied by an adult. Camping is available, with general, family, and boutique options like Podpads and Silk Road tents, though no on-site camping equipment is provided. Visitors can explore nearby attractions such as Waterford’s Viking Triangle or the Copper Coast Geopark, with shuttle buses from Waterford’s Plunkett Station facilitating access.
The festival, expecting around 25,000 attendees, promotes sustainability through partnerships with Native Events and encourages public transport use via Bus Éireann services from Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Belfast.
Founded in 2018 by John Reynolds, a promoter known for his work with Electric Picnic, All Together Now was established to fill a gap for a medium-sized, inclusive festival that balances major acts with local talent and a community atmosphere. Following Reynolds’ passing, the festival has continued under the stewardship of POD Festivals Ltd, growing into Ireland’s largest independent festival and earning the IMRO 2024 Festival of the Year award.
Now in its sixth year, it has matured into a cultural event that prioritises creativity and accessibility. Orlaith Reynolds, the current director, has maintained the festival’s original vision while expanding its scope, introducing new stages and wellness initiatives. Her leadership has ensured a focus on diverse programming and environmental responsibility, with the 2025 edition building on the success of previous years, which saw performances from artists like Iggy Pop and The National. The festival’s setting at Curraghmore Estate, home to the historic Curraghmore House, adds a distinctive backdrop, blending natural beauty with cultural offerings.
Tickets for the 2025 festival, including Phase 3 general and family options, go on sale 28 February via Ticketmaster, with early bird and loyalty tickets already sold out. Visitors are advised to book early and check www.alltogethernow.ie for updates on the full lineup and accommodation options.
