Shows every gig across the full festival weekend, organised by day and time. This is your first stop for seeing what's on.
Tap the day pills at the top to show only one day at a time — Thu 28, Fri 29, Sat 30, or Sun 31. Tap "All Days" to see everything.
Each day is split into three sections to make it easy to scan:
Shows before 6pm — outdoor stages, pub sessions, afternoon gigs.
Shows 6pm–9pm — theatre events and early evening sessions.
Shows from 9pm — the late night pub circuit.
Each gig card shows a badge telling you what to expect:
FREE No ticket needed — just show up
€40 Ticketed event — price shown
SOLD OUT No tickets remaining
