Music festival: All Together Now 

Curraghmore House, Waterford, Until Sunday, August 2 

Curraghmore Estate welcomes 35,000 festival-goers for the sold out seventh chapter of ATN. Pulp, Kneecap, Disclosure (DJ set), and Underworld are the big names, but the line-up is as sprawling as the beautiful grounds themselves — dozens of acts across 18 stages, plus art, wellness and food offerings for every kind of festival soul.

Cinema: Spider-Man: Brand New Day 

General release, Friday, July 31 

Tom Holland reprises his role of Spider-Man for the fourth full-length outing alongside Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Bernthal. Clocking in at over 2.20 hours, it sounds like a slightly darker film: A forgotten Peter Parker lives alone as a full-time Spider-Man until mounting pressure triggers a dangerous change and a powerful new enemy emerges.

Gig: Ye Vagabonds 

Connolly’s of Leap, Friday-Saturday, July 31-August 1 

Ye Vagabonds will play Connolly's of Leap this weekend.

A special live show celebrating folk duo Ye Vagabonds’ fifth album All Tied Together. Brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn will be joined by friends and collaborators to fill the stunning outdoor space at Connolly’s of Leap with harmonies and love.

Bringing together multiple generations of Sheep’s Head women painters (Siobán O’Leary, Alice McCarthy, Mellie Spurling, Mairead McDonnell, Linda Morse, Mary O’Mahony), the exhibition Idir Neamh agus Talamh (Between Heaven and Earth) is inspired by the breathtaking West Cork peninsula. “I hope that in coming together we can show the world what an inspirational place Sheep's Head is, and how it fosters the creative spirit and sense of community,” says O’Leary.
