All Together Now festival: 5 things we learned from day one

Confidence Man provided one of the highlights of the first day of All Together Now, and there were plenty more treats on the first day of the Co Waterford festival 

The main stage at All Together Now 2024. 

All Together Now lives up to its name 

The fifth edition of the festival, it feels busier than ever on Friday night. 8pm and it's thronged for the Khrungbin-aping Glass Beams from Melbourne, Australia. Over at the second stage, Something Kind of Wonderful, Limerick trio Kingfishr, swelled to a five-piece live, have packed the place out. Come 1.30am, Arcadia is full to the max for Ross from Friends and they're not letting anybody anywhere near the entrance. It's a sea of disappointed people who turn back looking for a plan B.
