Derry’s Celtronic festival to end after 25 years and final edition

Celtronic festival is set to host its final edition next month.

The long-running Irish festival will welcome the likes of Helena Hauff, Cinthie, Mano Le Tough, Dave Clarke and Sama' Abdulhadi for its 25th anniversary edition from 17th-20th April, but will not return for 2026.

Confirming the news of their decision to call time on the festival, the team behind Celtronic said on Instagram: "While there is no doubt that the festival could continue to thrive for many more years, the 25th anniversary milestone feels like the perfect time to bring this chapter of Celtronic to a close. To go out on a high and finish the festival on our terms." Read the full statement below.

Launched in 2001, Celtronic is Ireland's longest-running electronic music-focused festival. The event has hosted performances by the likes of Andrew Weatherall, DJ Nobu, Or:la, Ben UFO, Steffi and lots more over the course of its history.

The full line-up for this year's edition will be announced soon.
