ASH

Northern Irish indie-rock icons Ash are bringing wall-to-wall singalong anthems to the Kaleidoscope mainstage at Glendalough Estate.

Formed in Downpatrick, County Down by childhood friends Tim Wheeler, Mark Hamilton, and Rick McMurray, Ash have built a powerhouse catalogue packed with some of the most infectious live tracks in Irish music. From their #1 platinum-selling debut album 1977 - celebrating its landmark 30th anniversary - to fellow #1 record Free All Angels and acclaimed studio release Ad Astra, their setlist is loaded with era-defining hits including Girl From Mars, Oh Yeah, Goldfinger, Kung Fu, Burn Baby Burn, and Shining Light.

Renowned across the globe as one of the finest festival bands on the circuit, Ash deliver high-octane shows built on razor-sharp hooks, soaring melodies, and zero pretension.

Whether you grew up blasting 1977 on repeat or you’re introducing the kids to their very first proper guitar-band jump-around in the Wicklow hills, Ash at Kaleidoscope 2027 promises pure sunshine energy, arms-in-the-air choruses, and an unforgettable mainstage moment for the whole family.
