With All Together Now 2025 just around the corner, we asked 2FM presenters Beta da Silva, Graham Smyth and Tracy Clifford which acts they are most looking forward to seeing on stage. Check out their must-see recommendations below!
Beta's Top 3 Picks
CMAT:
On the lead up to her 3rd upcoming album "Euro-Country" (releasing on August 29th), CMAT has been on fire with her recent singles taking over our lives in the last couple of months with "Running/Planning", "Take A Sexy Picture Of Me" & the latest with "The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station". Already fresh from a set in Glastonbury, the singer from Meath will be taking her band and new musical era to Curraghmore Estate, Co. Waterford where she'll grace the stage at All Together Now which will be filled with her usual humor, high intensity energy and hopefully a couple of moves from her viral TikTok dance.
49th & Main:
49th & Main’s 2025 has been one to remember starting off in February when they got us moving around with their euphoric filled dance track "Distractions". Some months later the duo of Ben & Paddy quickly built up their momentum, finally releasing their debut album "Happy Tears" back in June which promised to brighten up our moods this summer regardless of whatever weather we were experiencing. They have a reputation for being a highlight of their past festival experiences, and it'll be no different when they hit the stage at All Together Now.
Fontaines D.C.
The rise of Fontaines D.C. has been no secret to us all, and it's been an absolute joy to be able to witness the progression of their music and as a band spread across their 4 studio albums. Almost a year ago we were gifted their critically acclaimed, Grammy nominated 4th album "Romance" which sounded like we were sent to a futuristic dystopian world. The project sounds beautiful live with songs like "Starburster", "Favorite" & "In The Modern World" proving to be huge highlights in their sets. Theres no doubt in my mind that people will be scrambling along to see them at All Together Now to catch their past & present hits.
Graham’s Top 3 Picks
The Voidz
It is rare to catch the icon that is Julian Casablancas performing in Ireland these days so I will be jumping at the opportunity to see him in Waterford with his side-project to The Strokes, who have a stellar and (in my view) underrated back catalogue!
Lewis Doyle Singer
Is he a parody act? Is he for real? Can he play an instrument? Will he be appearing on stage via a screen like an Instagram filtered Wizard Of Oz? I have so many questions about this Instagram Page/Singer that can only be answered by seeing what happens at All Together Now!
Cliffords
One of our 2FM Rising Acts for 2025, these Corkonians are fresh from playing Glastonbury and have released one of my favourite tracks of the year in 'My Favourite Monster'. If things keep going the way they are, they may be headlining ATN some day!
