The All Together Now flag was unveiled this morning at Curraghmore Estate to announce the first artists set to perform at the festival's sixth chapter, with many more yet to be announced.

The upcoming chapter has received an incredible response already, with Loyalty and Phase 1 tickets selling out in record time. Phase 2 tickets will go on sale at 9am on Thursday, November 28.

The first wave of acts is headlined by Grammy-nominated Fontaines D.C., bringing their poetic post-punk energy to the Curraghmore stage. 

Their latest album, Romance, released in August, ushers in a cinematic and melancholic new era with standout tracks like ‘Starburster’, which has already amassed over 36 million streams on Spotify.

Renowned for visceral live performances, Fontaines D.C continue to redefine alternative rock with a distinctly Irish edge, making this one of the year’s most exciting homecomings for one of the biggest bands of the moment.

Joining them is the celebrated Michael Kiwanuka. His new album, Small Changes, is out this Friday. Mojo Magazine calls it “hypnotic beats, empathic emotions, and first-rate songwriting,” while the New York Times praises his ability to “make the simple profound.” 

This will be his only Irish show next year, making it an unmissable performance.

The lineup also features Mercury Prize nominee CMAT and her critically acclaimed album Crazymad, For Me. 

Described as “cinematic, theatrical, and continuously melodramatic” by Dork, her nostalgic hit single 'Where Are Your Kids Tonight' featuring John Grant is a fan favourite. 

Speaking of Grant, the visionary singer-songwriter returns with The Art of the Lie, already hailed as a career-defining masterpiece by Record Collector, which calls it “eloquent and erudite... a rich and dense record.” 

Electronic fans can look forward to Bicep’s electrifying Chroma AV DJ set, plus performances from the irreverent and captivating Wet Leg, a British indie rock group from the Isle of Wight, who have been receiving considerable attention of late.

The legendary Leftfield will also make an appearance, celebrating 35 years of original bass and beats with Leftism and beyond, and London singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya. 

Yanya’s third album, My Method Actor, has earned universal acclaim, with Pitchfork awarding Best New Music and Wonderland calling it “potent, poignant, piercing.” 

Further announcements are expected in the coming months, with more acts and experiences, including wellness activities, delectable delights, and creative art installations.

All Together Now is returning to Curraghmore Estate over the August Bank Holiday Weekend, 31st July - 3rd August 2025.
