The music and arts festival will take place from August 28 to 30, 2026, at Stradbally Estate, Co Laois.
The 2025 festival saw acts including Kneecap, Hozier, Chappell Roan, and Fatboy Slim perform for 80,000 people amid an eclectic mix of weather.
Tickets for 2026 went on sale in August and sold out quickly, and ticket prices and venue capacity remain the same as 2025.
