Tickets go on sale for Forest Fest 2027 on Kildare border
Six stages, sustainability talks, family attractions, glamping facilities
Early bird tickets for Forest Fest 2027 go on sale today, giving music fans across Kildare the first opportunity to secure passes for one of the country's biggest summer festivals.
The three-day festival will return to Bee's Wing Farm in Emo on the Kildare/Laois border from July 23 to 25, 2027, following what organisers described as a record-breaking weekend that attracted 16,000 people each day to this year's event.
Festival-goers can purchase Early Bird Pre-Sale tickets from 10am, with registration available in advance through the festival's website.
Forest Fest 2026 came to a close on Sunday after three days of sunshine and performances from an extensive line-up of Irish and international artists.
Headline acts included Echo & The Bunnymen, James and Madness, while the bill also featured Deacon Blue, The Boomtown Rats, The Charlatans, The Undertones, The Coronas, Paul Brady, Mary Coughlan, Gemma Hayes, Feeder, Kerbdog, Lloyd Cole, The Frank & Walters and Camille O'Sullivan.
The Fleadh Stage showcased traditional and folk music from acts including Kíla, Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfetones, Cherish the Ladies and Jiggy.
Country and Americana artists such as Nathan Carter, Michael English, Clíona Hagan and Mike Denver performed on the new Kickin' Up Dust Stage, while emerging Irish acts appeared on the Perfect Day Stage.
Organisers said the move to Bee's Wing Farm proved a major success, with six stages, sustainability talks, family attractions, glamping facilities and artisan food and drink all contributing to the festival experience.
Forest Fest has become a popular destination for many Kildare music lovers due to its close proximity to the county, with Emo located less than an hour's drive from many parts of Kildare.
Early Bird Pre-Sale tickets for Forest Fest 2027 are expected to be in strong demand following this year's sell-out success.
