Forest Fest dates announced for next year with loyalty tickets going on sale Wednesday Oct 8th at 10:00.

They'll be doing well to top the line up they had this year.

Giving it a miss next year, too close to the ATN dates, enjoyed doing the two back to back this year but can't hack the twelve days camping again.

Same but doing foreign fest next year so bit spenny to do two full fests, if they've Suede then an exception will be made for a day ticket.

Enjoyed it last year, but agree will be hard to top this year. Won't be buying a ticket until line up is announced

I'll be buying a ticket on Wednesday. It'll be my fourth outing to FF.

Penfailed · 08-10-2025 11:21AM

Ditto!

50 euro saving if you buy the weekend loyalty tickets now. Full price tickets has increased on this year, to be expected with the increased costs to keep festivals like this going and this is one festival I'd highly recommend to anyone who hasn't attended already.

Unless they do something about the chairs, I'm out. It's a good little festival on the verge of being ruined by idiots. They keep adding more tickets available each year, but the site isn't getting any bigger so something has to go - ideally the chairs!

Penfailed · 09-10-2025 10:02AM

The chairs are a complete ballache. They said before this years event that it would be policed and kept behind the sound desk at the main stage and kept out of the tents altogether. Didn't happen. People are very inconsiderate.

Got mine today, I know last year was poss the best yet and hard to top but every year has been amazing IMO and at that price what a bargain!

They mentioned a "big announcement imminent" a week or two ago, was that just the dates confirmed or is there more to come?

Mucker46 · 21-10-2025 09:56PM

Hoping to get a ticket tomorrow for my first one. Real FOMO last year with that line up

Mucker46 · 22-10-2025 08:40AM

Ticket sorted. The link if you got one works now even though says starts at 10

Mucker46 · 02-11-2025 07:36PM

See Forest Fest is moving site next year still in Emo. Apparently a bigger site.

Ooh. I've always hoped they'd migrate to the beautiful Emo estate behind their current site. That would be a transformative move.

Never been so can't comment but seems people felt crowded last year. Look8ng forward to my first visit next year.

Stillill42 · 02-11-2025 08:50PM

Where did you see that @Mucker46 ?

Mucker46 · 02-11-2025 08:58PM

It was a response from FF to a comment on their Facebook page

We've just bought two tickets and a camper pass. Haven't been before but was kicking myself for not going this year. Looks like a lovely wee festival!
