All Together Now 2026 - tickets on sale 31st august

I know Fanirish will jump on this and disagree, but the top end of lineup is most definitely missing a headline act for one of the nights, could do with another sub-tier international act too, and I fully expect to see the next main announcement add acts at that level, not buying the budget spin either, I can remember EPs with under 15k punters with bigger lineups, ATN expanded last year, it's probably expanding again to +35k, ticket prices are up, it's sold out in record time, corporate sponsorship is there in abundance, I just can't see them skimping on the lineup especially when they are riding the hype wave after last years success

Id guess a couple of sub headliners to be added, not expecting massive acts or anything but there's something to be added in the upper level surely. Christy Moore obviously a very big act but he'll most likely get the Max Richter spot of Sunday in SKOW around 5pm so in terms of timings he's not really exactly a subheadliner.

Yeah they need a big pop act, Lorde/Nelly Furtado
Something in the world of Sugababes and Natasha Beddingfield as well

If you look at something like Y Not Festival on the same weekend in the UK, there is plenty there we could take

The Libertines, Scissor Sisters, Happy Mondays, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Vanessa Carlton, The Vaccines, Kaiser Cheifs, The Streets, Reytons and Two Door Cinema Club, surely youthere is one act from that list we could take for sub-headline our side

I agree Disclosure for SKOW

Kind of agree. What do people think are the two closing acts for Main Stage and SKOW for Friday / Saturday / Sunday. so 12 acts in total

6 late Main stage acts: Pulp, Underworld, Kneecap are all gauranteed. Who else? Maribou state?

6 late SKOW acts: Disclosure, Mogwai, Mall Grab, Floating Points, Mary wallopers? Gilla Band?

scissor sisters would be a great add

I can see Disclosure doing something similar to the Groove Armada DJ set on the reformattted Bandstand area last year... I think on the Saturday night.

Kneecap and Wallopers as headline/sub-headline on a Saturday night for a main stage for 2nd biggest festival in the country is weak as f***, CMAT last year was 2nd sub-headline and that is IMO what Wallopers will be, leaving a gap for bigger act on the main stage to either headline or sub-headline, a large electronic act is generally the closer on the Saturday night

No doubt in my mind that Kneecap are a worthy headliner for Saturday night at ATN at this stage.

What I'm more curious about is seeing if/when we'll get an act like The Streets, Example or Scissor Sisters to round out the sub-headliners, as well as some homegrown talent with a good current profile like Kojaque, KhakiKid, Curtisy, MOIO or F3mii.

While I'm asking for things I'd love Joy Crookes also. (I know she's playing FF already)

Taking about the combination of both as headline, sub-headline. Kneecap with a stronger sub-headline is fine.

Westlife just sold out a dozen nights in the 3 Arena, selling lots of tickets in Ireland doesn't always equate to the right act for a headline or sub headline act at a musical festival, as much as I enjoy the wallopers they are IMO not the right type of act to put on a mainstage at 10PM on a Saturday night
