IT’S HERE! We are so excited to throw open the gates at the beautiful grounds of Curraghmore Estate to welcome all of you festival-goers to the 5th chapter of All Together Now. Here are some tips and hints on how to make the most of your experience with us at All Together Now this year! We can't wait to see you this August Bank Holiday weekend.

NEW ADDITIONS TO ATN24
The Bloom is a towering bloom of colour and light woven from bamboo poles. During the day its semi-transparent facets catch the sun to form an eliminated vault within. At night it becomes a beacon of tessellating geometric light. The Bloom beacon reaches 16m into the sky and will be the tallest bamboo structure standing in Europe. This completely unique environment is especially designed and fabricated for All Together Now Festival by bamboo artist Joseph Williams and supported by Velo. Tucked away in the woods, the Hidden Sounds with Dingle Gin Stage makes its debut at All Together Now this year, featuring intimate performances from Fionn Regan, Muireann Bradley, David Kitt, Niamh Bury, Oisin Leech and more. So far, we’ve announced Le Boom, SKREAM & Fionn Regan as special guests for this year’s festival, with more still to come - including a big one on the Lovely Days stage tomorrow! All Together Now's fifth chapter welcomes back the All Curious Minds Arena, a cultural hub brimming with creatives and commentators from diverse disciplines. Highlights include best-selling novelist Marian Keyes discussing her thirty-year career with broadcaster Tom Dunne, and actors Clare Dunne and Emmett J Scanlan exploring the acclaimed crime drama 'Kin' with its creator Peter McKenna. Richie Sadlier, podcaster and psychotherapist, will delve into life's complexities with novelist Peter Murphy. Plus RTÉ Radio 1’s Louise Duffy will host a special edition of her show featuring festival musicians and loads more besides! We are thrilled to introduce the debut of Global Solidarity Hub, a new feature of the All Curious Minds Arena. Bringing together top practitioners and thinkers in global social justice, offering workshops, discussions, interactive exhibitions, and guest artists. The program is curated by Dóchas, GOAL, Sightsavers Ireland, and Trócaire. ATN Wine Bar returns, hosted by Neighbourhood Wines who will curate the menu and music.
