Since its inception in 2010, Vantastival has been more than just a music festival; it is a gathering of friends, families, and music lovers of all ages. With a loyal audience returning year after year, the event has built a reputation for its welcoming, intimate atmosphere. Both tent campers and campervanners are welcome, and the strong campervan community is a key part of its identity, with many festivalgoers forming lasting friendships. 

In addition to its ever-growing music lineup, Vantastival continues to expand the festival experience with new and returning attractions, including: 

• The Cully & Sully Campervan Cook-Off: Sponsored by Cully & Sully, this beloved Sunday event challenges contestants to create a two-course meal using just their campervan kitchens, with identical ingredients provided to each.  
• Kids’ Programme: This year, Vantastival’s family-friendly spirit shines brighter than ever with an expanded kids’ programme designed to spark imagination and creativity throughout the weekend. The enhanced programme includes giant bubbles, circus skills, open mic, face painting, comedy, and more.  

 Festival Director and Co-Founder, Louise Tangney shared her excitement, saying:  

“We’re thrilled to reveal more of what’s in store for our final edition at Beaulieu. This second wave of acts highlights the incredible depth and creativity in Irish music right now, and with unique experiences like the Campervan Cook-Off and a vibrant creative programme for the kids, we’re aiming to make Vantastival 2025 a truly unforgettable celebration. From intimate acoustic sessions to high-energy headline sets and immersive community moments, this year’s edition is shaping up to be our most ambitious yet. We can’t wait to welcome everyone one last time for a weekend of music, connection, and magic.” 

Vantastival takes place at Beaulieu House and Gardens, a stunning 17th-century estate on the banks of the River Boyne, just 45 minutes from Dublin. The main festival site, the Boyne Meadow, provides a picturesque and historic setting, with stages nestled into the surrounding native woodland. Many musicians choose to stay for the weekend, adding to the friendly community atmosphere that defines the festival.
