A strengthened partnership supporting the festival’s next chapter
FUEL is proud to mark its partnership with Beyond The Pale as the festival unveils the first wave of its 2026 line-up. Returning to Glendalough Estate from Friday June 12th to Sunday June 14th 2026, the announcement signals a renewed and confident chapter for the acclaimed boutique festival.
Earlier this year, FUEL joined forces with Beyond The Pale at an important moment in the festival’s evolution—providing strategic support, operational expertise, and long-term planning to help guide its next phase of growth. Working collaboratively with the existing programming team, FUEL has helped ensure the festival’s continued strength, stability, and ability to deliver the kind of culturally rich experience audiences have come to love.
A Future-Focused Collaboration
Rather than shifting the festival’s identity, FUEL’s role has been focused on empowering what makes Beyond The Pale unique: its artist-first approach, intimate scale, and multidisciplinary spirit. Together, both teams are shaping a refreshed chapter—one grounded in creative ambition, sustainability, and a secure foundation moving into 2026 and beyond.

Strengthening Independent Festivals
This partnership underscores FUEL’s continued commitment to supporting independent festivals in Ireland—helping them grow sustainably, navigate industry challenges, and expand creatively without losing their core identity. For Beyond The Pale, this collaboration supports a stable foundation for the festival’s long-term success.
