Last year the foundations were laid for what’s going to be one of the best festivals Ireland has ever experienced.

All Together Now return for their second chapter in Curraghmore House on August 2-4. They return with music, spoken word, comedy, theatre, debate, art, workshops and food, and although it’s a celebration, this year’s edition will also be a commemoration.

“Setting off on this journey, we endeavoured to embrace the landscape’s beauty, to honour the past but also to collaborate and create a new future. Following the sad and sudden loss of John Reynolds, the founder of POD, the whole team look forward to realising the vision and dedication, which over the last three decades changed the Irish cultural landscape. In this year’s festival programme, John proclaimed himself as ‘the so-called captain of the best team in the world’.

“There is a piece of us all in All Together Now. Now, it is time to look forward. To collaborate, curate and create the next chapter.”

Before Christmas they announced that GRAMMY award-winning band The National will be their first headliner. They then confirmed that Fontaines D.C. will play their only Irish festival show at ATN.

Now, joining The National and Fontaines D.C. will be Patti Smith, Hot Chip, Father John Misty, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Jon Hopkins (Live), Ólafur Arnalds, Neneh Cherry, Loyle Carner, The Wailers, Lisa Hannigan & Stargaze, Kiasmos (Live), George FitzGerald (Live), Leftfield, Little Green Cars, José González, Kamaal Williams, Erol Alkan, Ben UFO, Jayda G, Tunng, Ships, King Kong Company, The Murder Capital, Pillow Queens, Just Mustard, Junior Brother, Cáit and London Astrobeat Orchestra Performing Talking Heads.
