Kaleidoscope, Ireland’s family camping festival, has announced Hot Chip, Ash and Olly Murs as its first headliners for 2027.
It’s the festival’s first summer at Glendalough Estate in Co. Wicklow, running from Friday July 2nd to Sunday July 4th 2027.
The festival says the headliners come directly from audience demand. Olly Murs was among the top five most requested artists in its recent family survey, while Hot Chip and Ash have both topped the festival’s wish lists over the past six years.
Further music and all-ages programming will be announced over the coming months.
Also announced
- A new Family and Creative Open Call, inviting performers, programmers, artists, community groups and emerging talent to apply to bring all-ages shows and activities to the festival. Applications open over the coming weeks at kaleidoscopefestival.ie.
- The Gavin Glynn Foundation, a Wicklow-based charity that supports families of children with cancer who have to travel abroad for treatment, is the official charity partner for 2027. The partnership includes a charity family run across the festival site over the weekend.
Weekend camping tickets start from €110 for adults and €72 for children, including booking fee, from kaleidoscopefestival.ie and Ticketmaster.
