With three main indoor stages and various pop-up gigs happening across the 120 acre site, you can also dive into the wet and wild indoor pool parties, visit the Birds of Prey centre to get up close and personal with real life owls and falcons, take a ride on the Go-Karts, play games at the arcade, or, get out and ride the soundwaves on the festival’s new offering, the Cork Harbour Boat Party.

If you’re joining the party as a larger group, a limited number of houses are still available from €259pps. Get your crew together and check out options for groups of between five and nine people.
If you’ve got yourself a fine pair of wheels, Camper Van Tickets are available from a bargain €169 per person for three nights.
It Takes A Village is a residents only affair so there are no weekend tickets without accommodation. Sunday Day tickets are available, with a bus leaving from the Patrick’s Quay Air Coach stop in the City Centre if you fancy popping down for the day (€8 each way).
For Cork Harbour Boat Party taking place on the Sunday of the festival, guests will be whisked off on a cruise around Cork harbour, with special guest DJs playing the hits as everyone kicks back and enjoys the views.
