''We're thrilled to announce that Beyond the Pale is back, taking place June 12th to 14th at the beautiful Glendalough Estate. And we're kicking things off with an incredible first wave of acts. Caribou, Soul Wax and Father John Misty headline. And these will be joined by Honey Dijon, Of Monsters and Men, Groove Armada DJs, Sister Sledge, Kojak, Moody Man and so many more.
''This is just the beginning. We will be announcing even more acts over the coming months too. Beyond the Pale is not just about the music. It's three days of art, culture, food and wellness.
''Festival goers can enjoy luxury glamping and campervan stays, chef-led pop-ups and curated restaurants, craft cocktails and local brews, and of course, beyond the plate talks and tastes. You can also unwind in a kushla wellness field with saunas, cold dips and morning yoga. And of course, families are welcome too with activities and dedicated camping areas.
''Tickets go live on Friday, November 21st at 10am and tickets will be available at itsbeyondthepale.ie and Ticketmaster. Known for being Ireland's best boutique festival, this really is the ultimate weekend with friends.''
