Another Love Story Festival 2026 at Killyon Manor

Another Love Story is a small-scale Irish music and arts festival that has built a quietly devoted following over twelve editions. It takes place on the grounds of Killyon Manor, a Georgian country house on a 60-acre estate near Hill of Down in Co. Meath, and it runs across the third weekend of August each year. The atmosphere is deliberately unhurried - capacity is capped to keep it intimate, and the whole weekend leans toward community over spectacle. If you are looking for a big commercial stadium experience this is not it; if you want good electronic music, woodland walks, and the sense that you might actually talk to the person next to you in the crowd, it fits well.
The festival spans three days, opening with a Friday evening welcome concert for those who have purchased the full weekend package, running through a full Saturday programme, and winding down on Sunday in the traditional fashion. Multiple indoor and outdoor stages are spread across the manor lawns, meadows and woods, so the sound spills naturally between settings rather than being concentrated at one arena.
The 2026 line-up confirmed so far includes LTJ Bukem headlining a Saturday closing set, Steffi x Virginia, dub producer Mad Professor performing live, Stella and the Dreaming, The Fynches, A Cosmic Tribute to the Sun Ra Arkestra, and film artist Vincent Moon with a live cinema set. Talks and conversation sessions run alongside the music, with contributors including the Three Castles Burning history podcast and Mayo and Australian football star Cora Staunton, curated under the Young Heart’s Run Free project.
Outside the stages there is a full wellness programme - yoga, massage, and a Bosca Beatha sauna - morning swims in the river, and long afternoon stretches in the tall grass if that is what you need. Boutique camping and standard camping are both available on site, and camper van passes can be bought separately.
Killyon Manor sits just outside the village of Hill of Down, roughly 60 km from Dublin. By car, take the N4 westbound toward Mullingar and exit for Hill of Down or Enfield; the estate is a short drive from the junction. Car park passes are sold separately through the festival’s Eventbrite page - book yours at the same time as your ticket to avoid the queue on arrival. The organisers run a Love Bus shuttle service from Dublin for ticket holders; details are released closer to the event through the festival mailing list and social channels.
Hill of Down and nearby Enfield sit in the quiet Meath midlands, close to the River Boyne and the Royal Canal Greenway, which makes for easy walking or cycling before or after the festival weekend. There is more to see in Enfield and across Co. Meath.
