Forbidden Fruit Festival 2026
Forbidden Fruit is Dublin’s coolest city festival. Set in the grounds of the stunning Royal Hospital Kilmainham, it brings together electronic music, hip-hop, and alternative acts across three days of the June bank holiday weekend.
What to Expect
A curated line-up of electronic music, hip-hop, indie, and alternative acts across multiple stages in the beautiful grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. The setting is unique for a festival, with 17th-century buildings and manicured grounds providing a gorgeous backdrop. The vibe is more Berghain than Glastonbury.
