FIRST WAVE OF HEADLINERS REVEALED FOR WELLFEST DUBLIN 2026
WellFest Dublin’s milestone 10-year celebration is shaping up to be the biggest and most exciting line-up yet! Read on to see what’s in store…
The countdown is officially on for WellFest Dublin 2026, and we’re buzzing to share that the first wave of headliners has just been announced! As Europe’s largest outdoor fitness and wellness festival prepares to celebrate its 10th birthday, the Dublin event is set to kick off an incredible summer of wellness - before the fun heads north to Belfast in September!
Next May, the beautiful grounds of IMMA at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham will come alive with movement, music, and motivation for a weekend of fitness, inspiration, and feel-good energy.
Meet the Dublin 2026 Headliners
Leading the celebrations is none other than Newry native and fitness influencer Maeve Madden, who will bring her empowering Queens Don’t Quit workouts to the capital. Maeve will also be headlining WellFest Belfast later in the year - and we can’t wait to welcome her home for round two in Ormeau Park!
Joining her in Dublin are some seriously inspiring names:
Two-time Olympic gold medallist Kellie Harrington
Podcaster and mental health advocate Blindboy
Endurance athlete and wellness entrepreneur Spencer Matthews
And that’s just the start! The line-up also features performance psychologist Gerry Hussey, Yoga with Maura, and high-energy favourites like POUND and BBX. Festival-goers can look forward to Zumba with Hermann Melo, Yoga Le Naoise, foodie demos with Little Lou Cooks, House of Voga, and the return of the crowd-favourite Coppers The Workout.
On the WellMind stage, Owen O’Kane - Lewis Capaldi’s therapist and bestselling author - will explore mental health and anxiety, while Kimberly Wilson, a former Great British Bake Off finalist and chartered psychologist, will share her wisdom on brain nutrition.
And the best part? This is only the beginning - many more exciting names are set to be revealed soon as we gear up for WellFest’s biggest year yet!
From the Founders
Co-founder Anthony Kelly says it best:
“Together, WellFest’s two-city festivals shape a unique summer experience, with Dublin kicking things off in May and Belfast closing the season on a high in September. We’re thrilled to have announced the first wave of our Dublin line-up, with many more headline names and homegrown favourites to be revealed in the lead-up to our 10th anniversary weekend. The energy and anticipation around this milestone year is already building, and Dublin promises to deliver our biggest and most exciting line-up yet.”
A Summer of Wellness Across Ireland
From its very first one-day event in 2015 with 1,500 attendees to welcoming over 12,000 people each year, WellFest has grown into a true celebration of wellness in all its forms. Over the past decade, we’ve hosted incredible voices like Joe Wicks MBE, Davina McCall, Mr. Motivator, Fearne Cotton, Roz Purcell, Ella Mills, Gerry and Miriam Hussey, The Happy Pear, Dr Hazel Wallace, and so many more.
Now, as we celebrate our 10th year, we’re taking that same spirit of connection and community to Belfast for the very first time!
Belfast, You’re Up Next!
After Dublin kicks things off in May, WellFest Belfast will close the season with an unforgettable weekend in Ormeau Park on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September 2026. We’ll be announcing our first wave of Northern Ireland acts later this month - and trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
So mark your calendars, get your yoga mats ready, and stay tuned for more exciting updates. Dublin may be starting the party, but Belfast… we’re getting ready to finish it on a high!
