THE 2 Johnnies have been revealed as a headline act at a huge Irish festival this October – and tickets go on sale this Friday.
The iconic Puca Festival will take place for a second year in a row in Co Meath in a spook-tacular Halloween extravaganza.
Working in partnership with Irish artists, seanchai storytellers, and the local community, Puca Festival 2025 will offer four unforgettable days and nights of music, myth, food and folklore.
And Ireland‘s favourite funny lads will be fronting the festival alongside a lineup of impressive acts.
The 2 Johnnies will take to the stage at the festival for a special set, as well as Blindboy, Emma Doran, Dublin comedian Jason Byrne and podcast favourites Young Hot Guys.
Festival goers will also be treated to a stunning performance from The Dublin Gospel Choir in their Moonlight: The Philip Lynott Enigma show.
As the sun sets and the ceremonial fire is lit on Friday, October 31 visitors will gather at the Fair Green in Athboy to join the Lighting of the Samhain Fire to honour their ancestors.
The heritage town of Trim will host four nights of supernatural spectacle, music, and comedy, set against the stunning backdrop of Trim Castle, including the The Púca Procession: The Gathering of the Spirits on Saturday, November 1.
And as Halloween historically marked the end of the harvest season, the Puca Festival embraces the quality of the local produce on its doorstep in Boyne Valley.
Visitors can expect to indulge in traditional barmbrack, colcannon and baked apples as they immerse themselves in the local offerings at the Harvest Market.
New for 2025, on Halloween night, the Puca Festival Samhain Banquet will also take place at the Darnley Lodge.
This year’s festival theme is Connecting with Our Roots which draws on the physical and emotional ties to Ireland and our ancestral past during Samhain.
While Trim and Athboy are serviced by a strong public transport network, there are plans to add a number of Puca Bus services to bring visitors from Dublin, Drogheda and Kildare.
In addition, there will be regular shuttle buses running between Trim and Athboy throughout the festival.
Many more acts will be added to the line up over the coming weeks, and festivalgoers are advised to keep an eye on www.pucafestival.com for news.
Tickets for the Halloween spectacular event are set to go on sale this Friday, July 11 at 10am on the Puca website.
So if you’re looking to celebrate Halloween in a truly ghoulish style, make sure to nab tickets before they’re gone.
