Brought to you by All Together Now 

It's back.

All Together Now is making its return this year and as the iconic Irish festival makes its comeback, there are one or two things you need to remember if you're heading to it. Happening this weekend (July 29 - 31) at the Curraghmore Estate in Waterford, those who have their hands on some tickets are in for a real treat. We've got you covered before you head to the festival, and with an abundance of activities to get up to there, you'll definitely be spoiled for choice. The music First up - the music. There are over 200 artists set to play, with more than 100 Irish acts over 18 stages. Artists like Jungle, Self Esteem, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Flight Facilities, CMAT, King Gizzard and Floating Points are all on the bill, so no doubt you'll have the bop of a lifetime. The food Of course, you can't go hungry while you're there and thankfully, you're sorted in this area too. The Grub Circus is appearing in the Theatre of Food. Yes, a theatre of food. With multiple events taking place here, you'll get the opportunity to attend cooking demonstrations, competitions, as well as an in-house band. The list of food trucks listed on their site seems endless, with everything from vegan options to the classics like Eddie Rockets, there really is something for everyone. And not to mention the endless coffee supply, because we know we'll need the energy. Late night events The party really doesn't end at All Together Now, with late night stages from Arcadia, AVA and Sim Simma in place as well as incredible light shows. Chill time and family fun If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of festival life, the Breathe and Wellness area this year features dozens of spa, therapeutic and workshop experiences, as well as yoga, Indian head massages, tarot readings and children's yoga available. These are available as both walk ins or can be reserved online. All Together Now is a family friendly festival, with designated camping areas and activities for children across the entire event.
