Two Islands Playback Network

Hello friends!

Bookings opening – We’re happy to let you know that booking for the 2026 Two Islands Playback Gathering – taking place 1^st to 4^th May – will open at 8am on Monday 24^th November. This is the first wave of tickets.

A second wave of tickets will then be open for booking on 12^th January. This is to give those who need to make more complex arrangements a bit more time to plan. Tickets will cost the same across both waves.

So, if you don’t manage to get tickets in the first wave, please don’t worry. We will send out a reminder before 12^th January to nudge you about the second wave.

Please note – we can only offer spaces to people currently based in Ireland or the UK, as our priority is to support connection between playbackers across the two islands.

Scholarships – The 2026 gathering will also have 10 scholarships – i.e. low cost tickets – available for those who would not be able to attend the gathering otherwise. If you would like a scholarship, we will invite you to apply separately by 31^st December, and will notify you by 12^th January as to whether we can offer this to you.

Programming – Applications for running workshops and wellbeing sessions, or performing with your company at the gathering, will also open on 24^th November. These will be open until 31^st January, and we will notify you by 28^th February as to whether your offer/s have been accepted. Please note we can only accept offers from those who have booked a ticket.

We will aim to publish the final programme for the gathering by mid-March 2026.

Ticket costs – Ticket costs will be published on 24^th November. We have done our best to keep costs as low as possible, and to offer you a wide range of accommodation and price options. Please note that ticket costs will be higher than the last gathering, as the gathering is 1 day (and 1 night) longer!

We hope you’ll be able to join us at the gathering, and co-create something beautiful.

Playful love from the organising team,

Agi, Alexus, Andy, Anna, Bel, Ferran, Ivy, Lou, Marcin, Sarah and Steve x
