Announced today (November 21), next year’s edition of the festival will return for the sixth time, at its usual site of Curraghmore Estate in Ireland.
Taking place between July 31 and August 3, the first wave of tickets went live in August and sold out in record time. Now, ahead of ‘Phase Two’ tickets going on sale next Thursday (November 28) at 9am, the organisers have shared the first run of artists who will be performing.
Headlining the event will be Ireland’s own Grammy-nominated band Fontaines D.C. – who will be taking to the Curraghmore stage and breaking out hits from their critically acclaimed latest album ‘Romance’.
The appearance will follow a huge year for Grian Chatten and co, which has so far included a massive set at Reading & Leeds 2024, as well as high praise from both Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Elton John.
Joining them is Michael Kiwanuka, who is on the cusp of releasing his long-awaited new album ‘Small Changes’. The set at All Together now will be his only show in Ireland for 2025.
BRIT nominee and Mercury Prize-shortlisted CMAT will also be joining the bill, and is hitting the road in celebration of her huge album ‘Crazymad, For Me’, as are the Mercury Prize winners of this year, Leeds band English Teacher.
The remainder of the line-up so far includes Fat Dog, Wet Leg, a CHROMA AV DJ set from Bicep, John Grant, Nilüfer Yanya, Hinds, Gurriers and Bricknasty. Elsewhere at All Together Now 2025, organisers have confirmed that Leftfield will be performing – celebrating 35 years of original bass and beats with ‘Leftism’ and beyond.

The 2024 edition of the festival was held between August 1-4, and saw performances from The National, Jorja Smith and Róisín Murphy.
Also appearing at the event were Future Islands, James Vincent McMorrow, Slowdive, Confidence Man, Natasha Bedingfield, Maribou State and Barry Can’t Swim.
For 2025 headliners Fontaines D.C., the slot is the latest in a busy run of live shows the band have planned for next year. In September, they announced a huge show at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester – with support from Kneecap and English Teacher – and this was followed by news of a massive Cardiff Castle show, and a US headline tour.
