Christy Moore to make first Irish festival appearance in 14 years at All Together Now 2026

After revealing KNEECAP as All Together Now's first headliner for 2026 earlier this week, organisers have returned this morning with news that Christy Moore has also been added to the line-up – for what will be his first Irish festival appearance in 14 years.

This is set be the seventh edition of All Together Now, which returns to Curraghmore Estate in Co. Waterford from July 31 to August 2, 2026.

"We are incredibly honoured to announce that Christy Moore will join us at next year’s All Together Now for his first Irish festival appearance in 14 years," the festival wrote on social media this morning. "This follows the release of A Terrible Beauty, which reached No. 1 on the official Irish album Charts, arriving 56 years after Christy’s debut Paddy On The Road.

"Christy stands as one of Ireland’s most enduring and influential musical figures, spanning folk, traditional, and contemporary songwriting across more than five decades – making it an incredible honour to welcome him to the festival for the first time."

A Terrible Beauty scored a rave nine-star review in Hot Press upon its release in November 2024 – and was also named our No.1 Folk & Roots Album of 2024.

A new documentary, Cartlann Christy Moore, is set to premiere on TG4 on New Year's Eve – exploring "80 years of the life, music and personal collections" of the iconic Irish singer-songwriter.

Limited Phase 3 tickets for All Together Now 2026 are set go on sale at 9am tomorrow, December 12.
