The excitement for WellFest just reached a whole new level.
The second wave of headliners is landing very soon, and it brings together powerful storytelling, plant-powered pioneers, and electrifying movement. From a world-record-breaking cancer research advocate, to beloved WellFest originals, to a festival favourite who never fails to ignite the crowd - this trio represents everything WellFest stands for: community, resilience, joy and wellbeing.
Here’s your exclusive sneak peek at three of the newest names joining this year’s lineup - and why you won’t want to miss them.
Say Hello to This Week’s Headliners ✨
King of Chemo
At just 31 years old, King of Chemo was diagnosed with stage three brain cancer - a life-altering moment that reshaped his purpose. Rather than stepping back, he stepped forward with extraordinary courage, dedicating his life to raising vital funds for cancer research. With a powerful mission and unwavering determination, he has built a global community of more than 14 million people united behind his goal of breaking a world record for the most money ever raised running a marathon. His story is one of resilience, purpose and collective hope, and his presence at WellFest promises to be deeply moving and profoundly inspiring.
The Happy Pear
If you saw our recent throwback post on instagram to our first festival in 2015, you’ll have spotted that these legends have been a part of WellFest since day 1. Identical twins Dave and Steve started their journey in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, growing up as athletes dabbling in various different sports before separate travels at age 21 sparked a life-changing shift toward plant-based living, spirituality and food. What began as a shared dream to start a “food revolution” in 2003 has grown into a global movement focused on creating a healthier, happier world and building community through plant-based eating. Now, nearly two decades later, their passion remains as strong as ever. Their infectious energy, humour and practical wisdom have made them firm favourites with WellFesters, and their return is guaranteed to uplift and inspire.
Donking Rongavilla
Donking Rongavilla has become synonymous with joy, energy and transformation at WellFest. A Dublin-based dance fitness curator, choreographer and acrobatic instructor, he has spent decades championing his philosophy of “movement as medicine.” Since moving to Ireland from the Philippines in 2002, he has blended street dance with high-energy fitness to create experiences that uplift both body and mind. Known for delivering unforgettable sessions that leave audiences buzzing long after they finish, he continues to inspire the WellFest community with his creativity, passion and boundary-pushing approach to movement.
This is only a taste of what’s coming in the second wave - there’s so much more to come and we cannot wait to share.
Tickets are selling fast, and this year is set to be the biggest WellFest yet.
