Three of Ireland’s most in-demand live bands share one stage on the final weekend before Christmas, with tickets from €44.20 on sale Friday October 9th.
ALL OUT Festival comes to Gleneagle Arena, Killarney on Saturday December 19th 2026, with The Scratch, Gurriers and Sprints all on the bill.
It’s a one-night showcase for three Dublin bands who have helped define the sound and energy of Ireland’s live scene right now, running across alternative, rock, punk and folk influences, and it lands on the last weekend before Christmas.
The bill
The Scratch The Dublin four-piece came up through metal and found their own sound by combining folk and traditional influences with heavy music, first on acoustic instruments and increasingly with the full force of a rock band behind them. Third album Pull Like A Dog arrived earlier this year and pushed that approach further again.
Gurriers bring the darker edge. Rooted in alternative rock and post-punk, with noise-rock and shoegaze in the mix, the band have built their name on intense, mosh-ready live shows. Following debut album Come And See, they returned this year with Nobody’s Coming To Save You, released a couple of weeks ago.

Sprints round things out with a visceral take on garage-punk. Led by Karla Chubb, they’ve gone from packed rooms at home to an international audience on the back of direct, loud and fully committed live shows. Second album All That Is Over followed the breakthrough of their 2024 debut, Letter To Self.
