--Community and Culture at the Core of Night & Day 2026

Night & Day Festival 2026 is set to deliver more than a weekend of music — it is a celebration of community, culture and the deep-rooted heritage of Lough Key and Boyle.

For generations, Lough Key has been a gathering place for the people of the region. Night & Day continues that tradition, providing a national platform while maintaining strong local ties.

Dermot Beggan, General Manager of Lough Key Forest & Activity Park, said:

“There’s huge pride locally in what Lough Key represents. This festival allows us to showcase our landscape, our history and our community spirit to a wider audience.”

The Carolan Collective are also taking part in the Festival this year, featuring the music of Turlough O Carolan andother local traditional music composers and songwriters

Several local-based musicians and songwriters will feature at this years festival on Friday afternoon on the Una Ban stage and there also will be music and Harp workshops on Saturday and Sunday at the festival . These are being organised by well know musicians Mossie Martin and David Knight.

The festival is a strictly over-20s event but also caters to families with lots of family-focused activities available at the cultural site

Acts already announced to play Night and Day include: The Saw Doctors, The Boomtown Rats, Hothouse Flowers, Jenny Greene, Richard Thompson, Big Country, Paddy Casey, Soda Blonde and Cardinals.
