Natasha Bedingfield and The Saw Doctors announced for Kaleidoscope Festival

Natasha Bedingfield and The Saw Doctors have been announced for next year's Kaleidoscope music festival, set for July 3-5, 2026 at Wicklow’s Russborough House.

British pop singer Bedingfield is set to kick off the weekend with her Friday night headline set. Known for her hit songs 'Unwritten', 'Pocketful of Sunshine' and 'These Words', the Grammy-nominated artist performed at Dublin's Iveagh Gardens in July.

The Saw Doctors will close the festival with a Sunday night headline slot. The Irish folk-rock band are known for their singalong-style tracks 'N17', 'To Win Just Once' and 'I Useta Lover'. They performed at this year's Electric Picnic in August.

“We are all about creating unforgettable moments for families, and we’re thrilled to welcome The Saw Doctors and Natasha Bedingfield to the stage next July," said Shell Holden, Director of Marketing at Kaleidoscope.

"Their music spans generations and genres, and we can’t wait to see parents and kids singing and dancing together. With many more acts still to be announced, next year’s festival is set to be our biggest yet."

Last year, the family music festival saw the event's highest number of attendees to date.

In addition to musical performances, Ireland’s largest summer family festival will offer science shows, circus performances, magic shows, arts and crafts, dance, theatre, family sports and more.

Further acts, including Saturday's headliner, are set to be announced at a later date.
