Max HeyraudBeyond The Pale has unveiled a major new roster of acts for its 2026 edition, with legendary Scottish band Primal Scream leading the charge alongside one of Ireland’s most talked-about rising collectives, Bricknasty, as well as live electronic performances from contemporary innovators Marie Davidson (Live) and Max Cooper (3D/AV Live).
Taking place from Friday, June 12th to Sunday, June 14th 2026, at the stunning Glendalough Estate, Co. Wicklow, Ireland’s leading boutique festival continues to build momentum with less than five months to go before gates open.
Scottish rock legends Primal Scream top the latest announcement, set to play their only Irish show of summer 2026. With a career spanning more than four decades, the band remain one of the most influential and genre-defying acts in British music history.
They are joined by Bricknasty, the Ballymun-born Dublin collective whose explosive live shows have made them one of the most talked-about acts in Ireland in recent years. Also newly announced is the first-ever Irish live performance from acclaimed Canadian electronic producer Marie Davidson (Live), alongside Max Cooper (3D/AV Live), who brings his immersive, full-scale audiovisual show to Wicklow.
Reggae royalty Horace Andy will make his first Irish appearance in almost two decades, performing with The Dub Asante Band feat. Matic Horns. The unmistakable voice behind Massive Attack will take to the stage backed by an eight-piece band for what promises to be a landmark set.
Further additions include Brazilian electronic heavyweight Gui Boratto, returning for his first Irish show in eight years and his first-ever Irish festival appearance. Boratto will also feature as part of a Melodic DJs takeover of Beyond The Pale’s Cirrus Garden on Saturday night, with the full stage lineup to be announced in the coming months.
Beyond The Pale’s cultural programming continues to expand with the addition of Irvine Welsh, the acclaimed Scottish author of Trainspotting, who will perform at the festival.
Newly announced music acts also include Gabriels (DJ set), DUG, Shark School, and a special performance of Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, the classic album by Spiritualized, performed by Glasshouse Ensemble & Dublin Gospel Choir.
These artists join an already formidable lineup featuring Caribou, Soulwax, Father John Misty, Honey Dijon, Of Monsters & Men, Groove Armada (DJ set), Sister Sledge, Kojaque, 2ManyDJs, Princess Nokia, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Christian Löffler, Jan Blomqvist Band, and many more.
Beyond music, the festival continues to grow its multidisciplinary offering across arts, culture, food, and wellness. This year’s arts callout attracted over 450 applications spanning theatre, visual art, spoken word, installations, workshops, roaming performances, circus, cabaret, and comedy.
Located just 30 minutes from Dublin, Beyond The Pale offers both a full weekend camping experience and an elevated day-festival option. Boutique touches include glamping, campsite saunas, cold-water dips, and a series of chef-led restaurant pop-ups, still to be announced.
Tickets are in high demand, with Phase 2 tickets nearly sold out. Four-payment instalment plans remain available until Sunday, January 31st, or until sold out, with very limited availability and first payments starting from under €75 for a three-day weekend ticket.
Tickets are on sale now via itsbeyondthepale.ie and Ticketmaster.
