A fresh set of musical acts and food vendors have been announced for the upcoming All Together Now festival in Curraghmore Estate, Waterford.

Critically and commercially acclaimed singer-songwriter and composer Rufus Wainwright has been added to the bill as have Nabihah Iqbal, Mås Exödus, and Claire Beck.

Wainwright, who recently put on a spellbinding show at Dublin’s National Concert Hall, has released seven studio albums to date, as well as three DVDs, and three live albums, including the fantastic Grammy nominated pop up album?Unfollow the Rules.

Rufus Wainright has been added to the All Together Now lineup which also includes Groove Armada, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and Jungle.

The Theatre of Food and Grub Circus has also been announced by the organisers which will be hosted by food writer Joe McNamee.

The Grub Circus “is a two-day extravaganza of events, demos, cooking competitions, tastings, workshops, debates and, at times, downright madness, featuring some of Ireland’s top food personalities including, chefs, producers,  growers, makers, distillers, food writers and more,” the organisers say.

Renowned chef John Relihan has joined up with Pitt Bros to offer a barbeque feast. Tickets to be purchased separately.

Big names joining Grub Circus this year include; TV chef Paul Flynn; Ireland’s most-renowned culinary siblings, Darina Allen and Rory O’Connell; TV Gardener Diarmuid Gavin; Michelin star chefs Kevin Thornton and Enda McEvoy; and rising star Aishling Moore among many more.

Barbeque masters Pitt Bros are teaming up with John Relihan to offer an exclusive, indoor experience across the weekend and Baste is setting up camp at the Guinness Brewers Yard to create an “immersive live-fire cooking experience.”

Organisers have also announced that they have increased the size of the Family Campsite at the festival due to phenomenal demand.

“The festival is on course to sell out for the third year,” they say.

“We strongly advise you to get your ticket within the next week to avoid disappointment! Weekend Camping tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster Ireland & usual outlets priced at €235.00 including booking fee.”
