We are delighted to reveal the first two headline acts for this year’s festival
On Friday 18 September, Irish rock favourites The Stunning bring their unmistakable energy and catalogue of much-loved songs to Clifden for what promises to be a memorable festival night. Known for iconic tracks including Brewing Up a Storm and celebrated live performances, they remain one of Ireland’s great live bands.
Then on Saturday 19 September, internationally acclaimed traditional group Lúnasa take to the stage. Renowned for their powerful musicianship and contemporary approach to Irish traditional music, Lúnasa have become one of the most influential acts in the genre and continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
These two outstanding Irish acts are the first highlights of the 2026 Clifden Arts Festival.
Tickets are available here.
More programme announcements coming soon.
