Night and Day Festival

A disappointing line up to date. Its a bit of a stretch having Hot House Flowers headlining a festival in 2026 at these ticket prices. Paddy Casey is playing pubs these days. I dont think they have not repaid the loyalty of early bird purchasers and all their hopes are on the shoulders of The Saw Doctors to shift the tickets. Needs some serious additions to the lineup or there'll be no 2027 edition.

Its a pity really it had a potential to be a good fest for the mid west region, but its struggling to get eclectic popular acts and the line ups for Wild Roots went downhill too, although WR did shoot themselves in the foot by not paying some of their bills. I hope it survives and I make it, to it some day. Sometimes festivals can only manage to get a mediocre line up the odd year.

You just can't charge those kind of prices for tickets and churn a lineup out like that. Unacceptable to say they are allowed a blip year. It should be building and improving year on year. Look at how Forest Fest in Laois has improved each year.

Example of annoying line up choice this year is David Geraghty playing solo. Bell X1 are touring this summer with headline shows. Why didn't they book BellX1 instead of David solo?

cause bell X1 are doing massive headline shows in Galway, limerick, cork and Dublin and those essentially rule out any festivals.

Fingers crossed we get more. If they have shifted enough tickets on the early birds then maybe not too many more to come but that will catch up on them in 2027.

"No campervan passes for Volunteers 2026".

Surely a mistake move? Considering the majority of volunteers are older and with a camping vehicle. As much as the complaints were in 2025, at least allowed out in the sticks (non luxury).
