Thousands of music, Mayo and Glen Hansard fans descend on All Together Now
Music fans are gathering in Waterford for the All Together Now festival, which features a diverse lineup including Pulp and Kneecap. Attendees expressed excitement for the event, which coincides with a period of celebration following local sporting achievements.
Why it matters
The festival is a significant cultural event in Ireland, reflecting the intersection of music, sports, and community leisure.
Despite looking forward to seeing Christy Moore, Pulp and Kneecap all year, Mayo man Enda Bourke almost sold his All Together Now ticket after the county secured a historic victory over Kerry at the 2026 All-Ireland football final.
The Waterford music festival – with 35,000 attendees – is headlined by Brit Pop rockers Pulp, Belfast hip hop trio Kneecap, and electronic music duo Disclosure over the August bank holiday weekend.
