Capping off the weekend in style, Sunday will feature sets from Corner Boy, Join Me in the Pines, Neosupervital, Reevah, The Jobseekerz, Tailor Birds, and Jinx Lennon.

Since its inception in 2010, Vantastival has built up a loyal fanbase – earning a reputation as a welcoming and intimate gathering of friends, families, and music enthusiasts of all ages.

Both tent campers and campervanners are welcome, with the strong campervan community remaining a key part of the festival’s identity.

In addition to the music, Vantastival 2025 will feature a wide range of activities, including the hugely popular dog show, fire performances, and walkabout entertainers. You can also look forward to the return of the unmissable campervan cook-off.

“We are beyond thrilled to announce the first wave of acts for our final Vantastival in Beaulieu," says festival director and co-founder, Louise Tangney. "This lineup is a true reflection of the incredible talent Ireland has to offer, and we’re so excited to bring together both familiar faces and fresh talent for this special farewell.

"After 12 unforgettable festivals, we can’t wait to celebrate with all the Vantastivallers who’ve supported our independent festival dreams along the way, and we’re ready to make this one the most memorable yet.”

Beaulieu House & Gardens, a 17th-century estate on the banks of the River Boyne, provides a picturesque setting for the festival, and is located just 45 minutes from Dublin.
