At Killoskehane, Borrisoleigh · Killoskehane, Borrisoleigh, Co. Tipperary
The Devil’s Bit Music Festival has been running for four years now, and it keeps growing. Set at Killoskehane on the outskirts of Borrisoleigh, with views across to the distinctive profile of Devil’s Bit Mountain, this is a proper outdoor summer festival - tribute acts, emerging Irish artists, food trucks, a full bar, and a crowd that turns out because it’s a genuinely good day. It suits anyone who wants a relaxed festival atmosphere without a massive crowd or a long drive to a major city site.
The 2026 line-up centres on two headline tribute acts: Dan Budd, who has built a strong reputation performing as Robbie Williams, and Acquiesce, one of Ireland’s most convincing Oasis tributes. Around them, the bill fills out with indie, pop and rock performers, including emerging acts from across Ireland. Music runs from 3pm through to 10pm, carrying well into the golden evening light that rolls across the mid-Tipperary fields at that hour.
The site has artisan food trucks and a full-service bar, so you are not relying on bringing your own supplies. Community stalls add a local flavour alongside the main stage activity. The event is over-18s only.
Tickets are sold through PowerTik (ie.powertik.com) - book in advance, as this festival has grown each year and walk-up availability is not guaranteed.
