A.Wake is a wake.

A ceremonial and celebratory farewell to Body & Soul — the festival.

It’s a moment of closure made with care.

Not the end of Body & Soul, but the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

The gathering is entirely not for profit and capacity is limited to just 750 lucky guests.

Over a weekend on Saturday, August 16th and Sunday, August 17th 2025.
So two days and two nights.

Campsites close at 12 noon on Monday, August 18th.

A damn good party and a celebratory farewell.

A:Wake is a two-day celebrationl that honours the legacy of the Body & Soul Festival. We’ll take you on a journey of music, art, communal feasts and ritual, all rooted in the spirit of an Irish wake.

An arc of experiences will shape our weekend.

Saturday is a celebration of everything we’ve created together: live music, spontaneous collaborations, immersive art, and a damn fine party.

Sunday is a space for release with soul-stirring sets, shared feasting, and collective rituals, all peppered with moments of surprise.

Yes — but it’s not for show.
It’s for those who come.

A.Wake is a ritual, not a rollout.
We’ve curated a full programme of music, DJs, art, performance, feasting, dancing under the stars, and collective pause — all rooted in the spirit of an Irish wake.

But we’re not announcing it in advance.
This isn’t a festival built around names.
It’s a farewell crafted around meaning.

You’ll receive the schedule when you arrive.
No posters. No headlines. No distractions.

What we can tell you is this: The vibe will find you —
rise when it’s needed —
and it won’t let you go.

The wider theme of life, loss and renewal punctuate the weekend. At the heart of A.Wake stands a Temple of Remembrance - a space that honours both the personal and collective. Come with something to leave behind.

Due to the intimate nature of a wake, not everyone will be able to attend.

One for you.

One for someone who understands.

This is an intimate gathering. Choose your companion with care.

A.Wake is limited to 750 spaces. Around half are available to the public, with the rest reserved for artists, performers, crew and long-time collaborators who have shaped Body & Soul over the years.

If some of these reserved spaces aren’t filled, we open the doors a little wider and release them to the waitlist.

It’s not a resale system — joining simply means you’ll be the first to hear if extra spaces become available.

For details on our ticket policy, including refunds and name changes, see our Ticket Info & Terms.
