Since its introduction in 2017, the Farmer’s Bash has consistently drawn capacity crowds.

“We’ve listened to our audience, and after a hugely successful few years, including a rapid sell-out success at Belsonic in 2024, we’ve made the decision to go big,” said Farmer’s Bash creator and promoter Nigel Campbell.

“Boucher Fields is the biggest concert site in Northern Ireland and has hosted some incredible international acts. We’re delighted to be bringing The Farmer’s Bash Weekender there for the first time and can’t wait to show the fans the scale and ambition of this new annual event.”

Tickets for The Farmers Bash go on sale this Friday, December 13, at 9am via Ticketmaster.ie
