Great festival. Knows what it's audience wants and gives it to them. Great line up this year. Therapy?, Kerbdog and Reef were standouts, but all the bands were top drawer. Look forward to next year

Loved Forest Fest. It had a lovely small crowd, everything was well organised and well laid out within short distance. Great variety of food and drinks, especially enjoyed the Wicklow Wolf. The lineup was a brilliant showcase of Irish talent. It had a great family friendly vibe with lots of space for kids to safely play, dance and explore. The fire performances were a deadly end to the night. The campsite was well managed with great facilities and friendly security.

One of the best Irish music festivals. From the bands, Manic Street Preachers, Travis, Franz Ferdinand, The Farm to Irish acts there is something for everyone across all the stages.
Food and drink vendors are all excellent.
A real family friendly chilled festival.

It was a great time! The parking and camping area is a bit far from the arena, but other than that it was fine. We only went for the Saturday, so can't comment on the camping facilities.

A crackin wee festival, for me it's only 20 min drive from home. Great vibe, family friendly and decent lineup. For the most part it's older punters with a come together mindset.

Camping chairs are a blessing for older bones, it appears that approx 3/4 of the clientele use them. Top 1/4 of the arena were for most part chair free and the remainder 3/4 more like seated event. That's cool though because the majority on the same wavelength and younger punters might just not get it... Yet!

I can ascertain that the tradeoff for camping chair type punters is some of the best portaloo facilities I've ever come across on the festival circuit and this year no different. Regularly cleaned, plenty of toilet roll and zero stink. The appeal of these speaks volumes about the maturity of the crowd!

The general campsite was for sure more organised this year (2025) and had more food options, picnic tables, showers and toilets.

The majority of festival goers brought an open mind and their happy buzz... To those opposed, hmmmm well 😎💚

Really great festival with great food options, a chill atmosphere, not overly crowded and a fantastic line up.

The only bad thing was the amount of people using camping chairs sitting so close to the stages especially after dark those things were death traps. They need to be only allowed in certain areas.

Nice relaxed vibe. Good campervan parking close to venue with toilets and running water. The Cult were excellent saturday night. Staff very happy and friendly.
It was the best family day out that I’ve had in a very long time . The warm and easy atmosphere, music and huge selection of food stalls and all top class. I’ve my family tickets got for this year already but I’d love to bring our two best friends with us. There’s a real holiday and relaxed vibe to forest fest. Well done to all who organise it .

Inaugural Forest Fest was incredible! Lovely setting and size, bumped into so many friends. Acts excellent - Mundy, Cathy Davey and The Stunning my personal hilights. Food choices great and top quality. Tokens for drinks a great system. Plenty of toilets within easy reach. All in all 10/10. Can’t wait to go back!

Forest Fest was a deadly little weekend - such a great set up!! There was great variety on offer all the time from food and booze to artists and craic! It was a real celebration of incredible Irish artists, as well as Irish owned businesses too. It’s my new favourite festival and looking forward to next year already!
