In farewell, Body & Soul.
Fifteen years have reached their twilight.
One final dance awaits.
Let the body be still. Let the soul be free.
Body & Soul created magic at Ballinlough Castle. But it was never just a festival. It was a community. A co-created world built on connection, expression and collective spirit. But even the most vibrant creations must return to the earth to be reborn.
And so, we gather one last time.
Not as a festival. But a send-off.
A.Wake
A two-day celebration that honours the legacy of Body & Soul, rooted in the energy of an Irish wake.
No line up. No logos. No pressure.
Just the spirit of what we built together—shared one last time through a curated arc of music, art and rituals.
Programme
Saturday
We’ll gather to honour what we’ve built. To raise a glass, reconnect and revel in mischief and magic.
We’ll slow down to enjoy moments of ceremony and ritual—before the rhythm rises for a final release.
Day 2
Fire Rituals, Orchestral Moments, Acoustic Sets, Sunset Procession
Temple of Remembrance

A gathering. Not a commercial event.
