INSTALMENT PLANS
Day-By-Day Breakdown
Friday kicks off with a serious electronic edge. Headliner Caribou, Groove Armada, and Moodymann are now joined by Dutch live powerhouse Tinlicker, setting the tone for a weekend built on world-class late-night energy.
Saturday brings era-defining sets to the Valley. Primal Scream, Soulwax, Kojaque, and Sister Sledge are leading the charge. We are also thrilled to announce that Berlin techno royalty Ben Klock is joining the likes of 2Many DJs, Christian Löffler, and Gui Boratto for an unforgettable night in the trees.
Sunday delivers an unmissable finale with Father John Misty, Honey Dijon, and Of Monsters & Men. The highly anticipated Dove Ellis homecoming is a huge standout. Touching down for his only Irish show of summer 2026, this is going to be a special close to the festival.
The Beating Heart of the Festival
Today, we are pulling the curtain back on the very first teasers for our Arts programme.
Featuring more than 75 artworks and events, this is where the festival truly comes alive. Early highlights include Shane Daniel Byrne’s Comedy Shithouse, a high-octane hip-hop takeover from Outstraight Records, and the ferocious spoken word of We Are Griot’s Talkatives. After dark, the weird and wonderful takes over with cult spectacle EGG Cabaret, fire shows from Burning Circus, and the return of the battery-powered Bang Bike. The full Arts reveal lands in April, but consider the scene firmly set
