Natasha Bedingfield and the Saw Doctors will headline the Kaleidoscope festival in Co Wicklow next July.
Kaleidoscope festival, held at Russborough House in Blessington, is in its sixth year, with last year seeing the highest number of attendees to date.
Kicking off the weekend on Friday night is British pop singer Natasha Bedingfield, bringing her hits like “Unwritten”,“Pocketful of Sunshine” and “These Words” to the main stage.
Closing out the festival on Sunday night are Irish rockers The Saw Doctors, whose anthems include “N17,” “To Win Just Once,” and “I Useta Lover”.
Further headline acts are still to be announced for the summer 2026 festival, including Saturday’s main stage artist.
Shell Holden, Director of Marketing at Kaleidoscope said: “Families across Ireland are reimagining what summer looks like, and it’s no longer about airports and all-inclusives. It’s about shared experiences, local adventures and making memories together.
"With Irish staycations up 55 per cent since 2023 and domestic travel now accounting for over a third of summer holidays, we’re proud that our family festival is leading the way in creating unforgettable moments right here at home."
The festival has 15 areas, and tickets include science shows, circus, magic, arts and crafts, dance and theatre, baby and toddler play zones, and family sports and wellness.
The festival runs from July 3rd - 5th, with tickets available at Ticketmaster and kaleidoscopefestival.ie.
