FIRST HEADLINERS REVEALED FOR WELLFEST 2026
WellFest Turns 10: Maeve Madden, Kellie Harrington, Spencer Matthews & Blindboy Headline Dublin’s Biggest Wellness Celebration Yet!
Get ready, Dublin - Europe’s largest outdoor fitness and wellness festival is turning 10, and our 2026 festival will be bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever! We have just announced our incredible first wave of headliners for this milestone celebration, taking over the stunning grounds of IMMA at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on Saturday May 9th and Sunday May 10th, 2026.
Leading the Dublin line-up is none other than fitness powerhouse Maeve Madden, who’s set to bring her signature “Queens Don’t Quit” energy to the capital. Joining her on stage are Olympic champion Kellie Harrington, podcaster and mental health advocate Blindboy, and endurance athlete and wellness entrepreneur Spencer Matthews - four names guaranteed to bring motivation, laughter, and inspiration in equal measure.
And that’s just the beginning! From high-energy workouts to empowering talks, WellFest’s 10th birthday bash is shaping up to be our most exciting festival yet.
Co-founder Anthony Kelly summed up our excitement perfectly:
“We’re thrilled to have announced the first wave of our Dublin line-up, including Maeve Madden, Kellie Harrington, Blindboy, and Spencer Matthews, 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.”
Over the past decade, WellFest has grown from a small one-day event of 1,500 attendees to a weekend-long celebration welcoming over 12,000 people annually. It’s become a cornerstone of Ireland’s wellness scene - bringing together fitness enthusiasts, families, and first-time festival-goers for a weekend of movement, connection, and good vibes.
Reflecting on the journey so far, Anthony adds:
“Ten years ago, we set out to create a festival that celebrated fitness and wellness in all its forms, an inclusive event where friends, families, fitness enthusiasts, and first-time festival-goers alike could come together and connect through movement and conversation. Next summer’s 10-year celebrations and Dublin line-up… reflect the incredible growth of the wellness movement across the island of Ireland. We’re proud to keep evolving, expanding, and inspiring, with more announcements and surprises still to come.”
If the early line-up is anything to go by, festival-goers can expect a weekend bursting with energy, inspiration, and plenty of endorphins. With wellness icons, motivational speakers, and fitness favourites all coming together for one unforgettable celebration, Dublin’s 10th WellFest promises to be the feel-good event of summer 2026.
