Ireland

From the wide meadows of Stradbally in County Laois, where Electric Picnic reigns as Ireland's biggest festival every late summer, to the wild lawns of the Glendalough estate that host the eclectic Beyond the Pale deep in the Wicklow Mountains, the Emerald Isle turns its castles and parklands into open-air stages. The country has made indie-pop its calling card: you'll feel that curated, free-spirited indie energy at All Together Now, tucked inside the historic Curraghmore estate, and across the woodland line-up of Forest Fest in Emo.

But Ireland's musical soul beats hardest in the city — in Dublin, where a young hip-hop and urban scene takes over Longitude, while the electronic and indie nights of Forbidden Fruit fill the grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Set against a backdrop of folk tradition and legendary craic, every event has its own character. To help you navigate them, FestT works out your FestiScore — how closely a line-up matches your favourite artists — and keeps dates, headliners and ticketing up to date.
