All Together Now 2026 - tickets on sale 31st august

Definitely, but more importantly I'd be inclined to agree with BD that it could be the end of free flow with that cheap watery dutch pi$$ crowd coming in...

I doubt there was any Heineken representation last year with Diageo having the beer contract. Maybe you're thinking of the Smithicks Sheeben area that they introduced?

@Plush289 could you provide the link where you got this source, was it a media report or someone you know in the drinks industry. As I can't find anything online suggesting this is happening.

From a friend who works for Guinness

A good IPA or Pale Ale would certainly be a plus, but the Guinness on-site was always savage, it'd be missed and a mistake IMO.

Unfortunately loss of free flow would not correlate in any way whatsoever with a better selection of music or beer. It would just correlate with the progression to unfettered greed and disrespect to punters. Hopefully it stays, at least for this year as selfishly it may be my last for a few years due to oldest kid aging out. I love the free flow and still spend plenty of money in the main arena at the various beer/wine/aperol stands etc

Fairly sure POD (camping) events a long while ago in the past had Heineken and Free Flow right so there is a decent chance it might stay? Yes I would 100% keep the current free flow setup too obviously, plus Heineken have had a poor beer selection at most festivals I've been at over the past 3/4 years so cant see that changing too, the general point I was making with that is there is nothing worse than been stuck in a main arena with having to fork out nearly 8 quick for some average-to crap beer that you don't even like so at least give us options like in fairness Diageo did at ATN previous, best of both worlds (plus stouts are a heavy festival drink imo to be having 4 or 5 each day along with mixing with campsite cans, maybe not the case for other people tho).

POD know full well that the free flow is a major selling point and I couldn't see them getting rid of it until the festival goes past 50,000 people, Guinness would be a loss, the pints at the festival are lovely and the Lovely Days stage would be missed, I know they would keep the physical stage and just swap over to Heiniken Greenlight,

Thinking of it, could track with POD & Heineken both booking TOMORA recently

Make ur mind up!

Agree the look of Lovely Days with the black and white/gold is lovely, and would be horrible to see it turn into something similar to the Heineken stages at EP

Well that's a real shame, the nitro surge will have to get dug out now. A shame to lose the lovely days stage though, didn't spend half enough time at it.
