Early arrivals at All Together Now: ‘If I'm paying €275...I'm getting my money's worth'
Some 30,000 festivalgoers began flocking to the Curraghmore Estate in Co Waterford from Thursday afternoon to pitch their tents, switch on their speakers and get settled in for the sixth edition of All Together Now . Fontaines DC , CMAT , Bicep, Primal Scream and Nelly Furtado are among the acts due to perform over the weekend, but for those attending there's a journey to be navigated beforehand. [ All Together Now music festival 2025: Stage line-ups and times, ticket information, how to get there and more Opens in new window ] The luckier ones got lifts from friends, cramming in with all their weekend necessities. Others booked a coach to make the pilgrimage in a more orderly fashion. Some cycled to the camping grounds. People wait on the quays in Dublin for coaches travelling to the festival in Co Waterford. Photograph: Sam Boal/Collins Whatever about the trip to Curraghmore, on arrival they faced a tortuous drag from the festival entrance to the campsites as they lugged several days' worth of food, the maximum amount of alcohol permitted, and outfits to suit whatever weather may come over the bank holiday weekend. READ MORE A good number opted for early entry, allowing them to have their choice of the best camping spots before the attendance swelled. But many who tried to beat the crowds reported heavytraffic leaving Dublin. All of Orlaigh Keegan's friend group opted to come on Thursday. 'If I'm paying €275 for a f***ing ticket, I'm getting my money's worth and going for four days,' she said, winning a chorus of chuckles from her friends. Thursday wasn't all plain sailing, however. Festivalgoers arrive at Curraghmore Estate, Co Waterford. Photograph: Dan Dennison A proud native of Trim, Co Meath, Keegan woke up in her Ballsbridge, Dublin apartment at 7.45am on Thursday to get a 'blow dry for the festival'. She clocked into work at the Loose Canon wine bar in Dublin 2 later that morning. However, by the end of her 10-hour shift, she reported that her 'hair was flattened' after being run off her feet serving customers wine and cheese toasties. Festivalgoers head to the campsite at All Together Now in Co Waterford. Photograph: Dan Dennison She then had to make a dash to her friend Luke's house, also in Ballsbridge, who told her they 'were leaving at 6pm on the dot'. 'I cycled to Luke's house faster than I've ever cycled before, also with a massive bag on my back and an air mattress, too,' she said, adding that this took a further toll on her hair's volume and bounce. When Keegan arrived, she was told another friend was running late and that the departure time had been pushed to 7pm. The group made the trip down to Waterford in two cars, but given the late departure, they feared they wouldn't make it in time for last entry to the Curraghmore Estate at 10pm.

'We were singing along to the All Together Now playlist, bopping along,' Keegan said. They made it in time, had a minor tiff setting up their tent, but then cracked open some cans and enjoyed the first of their four nights on the campsite.

Ceol agus spraoi: what's on this Bank Holiday weekend?
This weekend marks the last Bank Holiday weekend of the summer, and with a wide range of events and festivals planned and a largely clear weather forecast, there is no shortage of opportunities for diversion across the country. What's on? Fleadh Cheoil Starting big, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann kicks off in Wexford town on Sunday for its second year in a row in the sunny southeast. The festival will officially kick off on Sunday with a special address from President Michael D Higgins but the early-bird festivities and excitement have already begun. Expect music around every corner and impromptu seisiúns into the early hours of the morning as trad music takes over Wexford town. Up to 600,000 musicians and visitors are expected to descend on the town for a week of traditional Irish music, dance and culture which will run up until Sunday, 10 August. While some events are ticketed and require visitors to book, the majority of the events and seisiúns are free of charge. All Together Now There won't quite be 600,000 descending on Curraghmore Estate in Co Waterford, but 30,000 revellers will make their voices heard as All Together Now gets under way today for its sixth edition. Fontaines DC and CMAT are two of the big Irish names who will take to the main stage while international acts Nelly Furtado and BICEP are also set to thrill crowds. The festival is, unfortunately, fully sold out. Spraoi International Street Arts Festival Also taking place in Waterford this weekend is the Spraoi International Street Arts Festival. Marketed as "Ireland's premiere summer street party", performers from across Ireland and the world will come to Waterford City with an exciting programme of street performers, contemporary circus, music, dance and fireworks. The festival begins today and runs through until Sunday with the headline event, the Spraoi Festival Parade, expected to attract 25,000 spectators when it begins at 9.30pm on Sunday evening. All performances in Spraoi festival are free. Bray Air Display For one day only, the Bray Air Display will excite north Wicklow crowds tomorrow with a "breathtaking array of aircraft and awe-inspiring aerobatics". The free family festival kicks off at midday with fun, games and exhibitions on the seafront. The air display itself begins at 3pm. Mary from Dungloe While the Mary from Dungloe International Arts Festival officially opened last weekend, the bulk of the events kick off today and run through until Sunday. Inspired by the song 'Mary from Dungloe', the festival is centred around crowning a young woman who is deemed to embody the spirit of the festival and the town. With events ranging from musical performances to dinosaur exhibitions and children's shortbread making classes, there is bound to be something for everyone at the famous Donegal festival. The festival wraps up on Sunday night with the crowning of the 2025 Mary from Dungloe as she is welcomed on stage by none other than Donegal's favourite son, Daniel O'Donnell. All-Ireland football final Meath face Dublin in the TG4 All-Ireland ladies' football final in Croke Park at 4.15pm on Sunday. The final is a repeat of the 2021 decider where Meath surprised Dublin to win the Brendan Martin Cup for the first time. A crowd of just over 30,000 attended last year's final between Kerry and Galway with the LGFA hoping for an increased attendance this year. What's in the cinema? The reboot of the classic spoof cop franchise The Naked Gun is in cinemas from today and has received glowing praise in these pages. Get ready to have your socks knocked off by the silliest film you'll see this year. If you are not up for a laugh, the gripping night-in-the-life hospital drama Late Shift is also in cinemas from today as nurse Floria battles through an increasingly frantic night on a Swiss ward. What's the weather going to be like? The good news is that Saturday and Sunday look largely dry and warm across the country with only the odd shower and temperatures as high as 23C in parts. However, heavy rain is forecast on Monday morning with Met Éireann predicting an unsettled day with unseasonably windy weather. What's the advice? The Road Safety Authority and gardaí have appealed to all road users to take care on the roads this Bank Holiday weekend. Garda Chief Superintendent Ray McMahon said this is one of the busiest weekends on the roads and asked everybody to be "very conscious of our vulnerable road users, our cyclists and our pedestrians". "We're asking people to slow down, we're asking people to just plan their journey ahead. Some will have long journeys this weekend, so take your time and take your breaks. Don't be using mobile phones or anything that might distract you while driving. "We really do not want to be visiting another family with terrible news this weekend." Water Safety Ireland also issued a rip current warning ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend with strong winds forecast. It called on swimmers and open water users to choose lifeguarded beaches and to never use inflatable toys in open water. It specifically warned the public of difficulties on east coast beaches where offshore winds will blow from land to sea. "Offshore conditions make it even easier to be swept out to sea and harder to return safely. Swimmers, paddleboarders and other water users are urged not to take to the water in such conditions," it said, regarding offshore winds.
