New wave of acts announced for Kaleidoscope Festival

The next wave of acts has been announced for this year's Kaleidoscope music festival, set for July 3-5, 2026, at Wicklow’s Russborough House.

Newly announced artists, including DJ Mark McCabe, Mundy and Delush, will join headliners and previously announced acts Natasha Bedingfield and The Saw Doctors.

Mark McCabe is an Irish music producer, remixer, radio DJ and club DJ from Newry. In 2000, he released 'Maniac 2000' and it went to number one as the second biggest-selling record ever in Ireland.

McCabe has mixed the opening sequence for events, such as the Special Olympics in 2003, the 2005 and 2007 Saint Patrick's Festivals and Skyfest and has also produced remixes for James Arthur, Gavin James, Ozark Henry and Dagny.

Mundy is an Irish singer-songwriter and founder of the independent record label Camcor Records. He released his debut album Jelly Legs in 1996 on the Epic Records label. The album included the song 'To You I Bestow', which was featured in Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation Romeo + Juliet.

Delush is a four-piece indie rock band hailing from Tallaght, Dublin. They burst onto the scene in September 2024, opening for Aslan at The Academy, Dublin. Since then they've taken to some of Ireland's most iconic live music venues, such as Whelan's, The Grand Social, The Workman's Club, Roisin Dubh, Sea Church Ballycotton, and Works Festival, as well as gigs in Newcastle and London.

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.
