Night and Day festival announces electronic lineup featuring Jenny Greene, Daithi, Nialler9 and more.
Night and Day has revealed its electronic programme for this year’s festival at Lough Key Forest Park, Co. Roscommon over the May bank holiday weekend, May 29th to 31st 2026.
The Sol stage – situated inside the 150ft Moylurg Tower will host Jenny Greene, Daithi (live), Nialler9, Vanishing Arcs, Sara Miller and Colin Perkins.
The tower has a bit of a backstory: a local campaign once tried to have it demolished, making its case on RTÉ’s Nationwide with the argument that it was a “monstrosity” with no artistic value. The campaign failed, and Night and Day have leaned into it – visual artist Sergey Khadjava transforms the tower during the festival into exactly the kind of thing it certainly wasn’t originally built for.
A new electronic area by the waterfront adds further depth to the programme, with west of Ireland DJ collective Runaway Club taking over the Úna Bhán lakeside stage each night from 7pm-11pm. Acts joining the takeover include Mark Wolfson, LAWRENCE, Kule, Blokes45, Elliot, Wayden, Ste Flynn and a Runaway Club DJ set.

Now in its fifth year, Night and Day already has a strong wider lineup in place – The Saw Doctors, Imelda May, The Boomtown Rats, Hothouse Flowers, Cardinals, Soda Blonde, Big Country, M(h)aol, Lemoncello and Babyrat among others.
Lough Key Forest Park is worth the trip for families regardless – zip-lining, treetop walks and boat tours are all accessible to festivalgoers over the weekend, and the on-site campsite has water stations and showers. The festival is strictly over-20s, with under-14s admitted on kids tickets when accompanied by an adult.
