There are some exciting changes brewing at Curraghmore House this August Bank Holiday, as Guinness and ATN bring a vibrant new experience to the festival with the announcement of the Lovely Days Stage.
One of the festivals main stages has been reimagined by Guinness to create a multisensory space, set to bring magic days and incredible nights to All Together Now, with a new custom-built stage designed for an energetic combination of music, from indie and electronica to laid-back rap.
All Together Now and Guinness have curated an incredible line-up for the weekend featuring an electric mix of emerging and established Irish and international artists, including Barry Can’t Swim, Lord Apex, Talos, Ezra Collective, Le Boom and Fight Like Apes.
With just over two weeks to go, Guinness and All Together Now have also unveiled the first special guest set to take to the Lovely Days Stage, as DJ Annie Mac makes her All Together Now debut on Friday 4 August.
The Lovely Days stage is a bespoke design by Irish creatives Kev Freeney and Jordan Ralph, the Lovely Days Stage is built as a backdrop to enhance every performance, created with the beauty of Curraghmore’s tree-filled skyline in mind. Under an outstretched orbiting halo, surrounded by nature and textures of black Shou Sugi Ban timber and gold, artist performances will be married with a curated and extensive lighting experience. Visuals will surge from LED screens behind performers, onto the halo, and ripple outwards along monoliths flanking the stage and into the festival crowd.
Lovely Days Line-Up across the weekend:
Annie Mac/ Tourist / Fight Like Apes / Beak> / Ezra Collective /
Warmduscher / Le Boom / Talos / FUTURE UTOPIA After Dark / Palms Trax

The Lovely Days Stage isn’t the only addition to the fields of Curraghmore House this year. In between sets at All Together Now’s newest stage, festival goers can enjoy a creamy pint and summer vibes at the new Guinness 1759 Bar with plenty of unmissable moments across the weekend.
There will also be a new G00D Times Bar in the Front Lawns serving drinks throughout the weekend, including Guinness 0.0. Expect a pint with the same smooth taste of Guinness, just without the alcohol.
“We’re excited to be back at All Together Now again this summer,” said Anna Sablovscaia, Marketing Manager at Guinness Ireland. “Building on last year, we wanted to create an even more immersive experience for festival goers and a space for people to connect. So, we’re delighted to reveal the Lovely Days Stage which has an incredible line-up across the weekend and is set to bring something unique to the grounds of Curraghmore House. We can’t wait for people to see what we’ve created and for guests to celebrate the magic of All Together with a creamy pint.”
