Introducing Hibernacle – brand new 3 day boutique festival launches at Orlagh House Dublin, with Pillow Queens, Lisa Hannigan, Ye Vagabonds & More

HIBERNACLE is here! A brand new intimate 3-day music event coming to Orlagh House in Rathfarnham, Dublin this July 4th-6th, 2025. Nestled in the breathtaking Dublin Mountains, just a short hop from the city, this beautifully curated festival brings together a powerful mix of Ireland’s rising stars and seasoned favourites for a weekend of music, connection, and the joy of live music done right.

Today, we’re excited to announce the first wave of artists set to take the stage at Hibernacle, including Pillow QueensLisa HanniganYe VagabondsWallis BirdAilbhe ReddyGráinne Hunt, and Áine Tyrrell – plus a VERY special headliner still to be revealed. This is your chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in a weekend of music, new friends, and the relaxed spirit of Orlagh House. 

Hibernacle is a fresh, intimate festival celebrating music, art, and community in the history-rich grounds of Orlagh House — a place that feels as welcoming as your favourite local, where music flows as easily as the pints. Curated by music lovers for music lovers, the festival centres around one main outdoor stage, while hidden gems and secret sessions wait to be discovered throughout the estate’s serene surroundings. From soul-stirring ballads to high-energy sets, Hibernacle blends emerging and established artists in collaborative, immersive performances. It’s all wrapped in a cosy, close-knit atmosphere that feels more like a gathering than a festival — and when the sun sets, the magic keeps going with live sets in the main halltrad sessions by the fire, and DJs spinning deep into the night.

Daily tickets are €65, with full weekend passes available for those keen to soak up the entire three-day experience. Optional add-ons include return bus transport from Dublin city centre and a limited number of aftershow wristbands for Friday and Saturday nights. Can’t pick just one day? Grab a weekend ticket and we’ll happily swap your wristband so a pal or partner can join the fun another day — share the love, share the tunes! At Hibernacle, the real magic lies in how artists and audiences share the same space, pints, and unforgettable moments.

Tickets go on sale May 6th at www.hibernacle.ie

For presale access, email info@turningpirate.com

Just 30 minutes from Dublin City Centre and five minutes from the M50, Orlagh House is easily accessible — a short taxi from Bray, nearby suburbs, or the city itself. Return bus tickets from a central Dublin pick-up point are available as an optional add-on when booking. Buses will run after the main outdoor programme each night, so if you’re planning to stay for the late-night aftershows, Orlagh House is just a quick taxi ride back to town. A detailed travel map and info will be shared closer to the event.
