The Last City reveals full lineup and times for All Together Now

All Together Now’s post-apocalyptic world expands into the woods for 2026, with a full lineup and schedule to match.

The Last City is back at All Together Now for a fifth year, and it’s the biggest evolution of the area yet.

The premise remains as immersive as ever. The year is 2120, the old world is gone, and beneath the Dome one city remains, the last outpost of civilisation beyond walls that hold back only dust and memory.

Over five years The Last City has grown into one of the festival’s most fully realised worlds, part music venue, part theatrical playground, part post-apocalyptic fever dream. For 2026, that world expands deeper beyond the Dome and into the woods, transformed into what the festival is calling a towering colosseum of survival.

Getting in isn’t automatic this year either. New for 2026 is Border Control by Scribblestown, a series of absurd, physical and spiritual trials at the entrance designed to separate the worthy from the weak. Only those who pass are welcomed beyond the walls.

Inside, the city itself has grown. Citizens can barter for survival at The Ration Shack, where there’s no credit, no cash and no crying, only trade. There’s strange comfort to be found in The Muticians, a tender and twisted 1950s-style apocalyptic transformation parlour where care and catastrophe sit side by side. And high above the streets, a decommissioned Magnum Cab has been hoisted into the air and reborn as the city’s newest DJ booth, looking down over the chaos below.

As daylight fades each evening, the Dome becomes the setting for The Last City’s most ambitious storytelling yet. Across all three days, VolkiDána presents The Last Cult, an escalating immersive spectacle combining theatre, procession, fire, ritual, aerial performance and live music. It begins as a satirical self-help conference promising salvation through investment, before descending night by night into a Dionysian cult of ecstatic dance, sacrifice and betrayal, with aerial moments unfolding high within the Dome itself.

Sunday belongs to the outlaws. Dublin Country Club’s Wonky Tonk Social and Western Girls x Fancy Dan turn the streets into a rhinestone-soaked honky-tonk of queer country karaoke, two-step dancing, rogue cowboys and frontier mayhem.

At the centre of it all, artist Sergey Khadzhava (of the Night & Day tower) has constructed a towering antenna that endlessly transmits an unknown message into the atmosphere. Whether it’s a warning, a plea, or humanity’s final attempt at contact, no one knows. Perhaps no one will ever receive it. Or perhaps the reply is already on its way.

Musically, the lineup is just as fearless as the world it’s set in, with more than thirty acts across the three days including THUMPER, I Draw Slow, Bicurious, Jinx Lennon, The Deadlians, The Wran, Huartan and CAOIMHÍN, trad colliding with techno, folk meeting punk, and hip-hop sharing the stage with ancient song.

In the year 2120, music isn’t entertainment. It’s how civilisation remembers itself.
