One of the most popular live music weekends on the local calendar is set to return as Heels & Hay Bales 2026 prepares for its biggest edition yet, once again hosted by Hannah’s/Griffins Bar.
The two-day festival will feature 10 live bands, bringing together a strong line-up of Irish acts for what organisers are promising will be the loudest and most ambitious version of the event to date.
Among the early highlights announced is Blessed Irish Band, set to bring a high-energy set as anticipation builds around the expanding festival.
Now firmly established as a key date in the live music calendar, this year’s event marks a major step forward, with increased investment, upgraded production, and a full weekend programme aimed at attracting one of its largest crowds yet.
Early bird tickets go on sale this Friday, with strong demand expected following the release of the full line-up.
Tickets will be priced at €40 for the weekend and €25 per day, with organisers confirming that all sales are payment-only and no reservations will be taken.
With excitement building and the full line-up nearing completion, Heels & Hay Bales 2026 at Hannah’s/Griffins Bar is shaping up to be one of the standout live music events of the summer.
