The organisers of All Together Now have apologised to festivalgoers for traffic chaos after some revellers faced seven-hour delays.
In a statement confirming the return of the festival for a third year, a spokesperson said they were “deeply disappointed” that some areas “fell short of expectations”.
Thousands flocked to see acts such as The National, Father John Misty and Hot Chip rock Curraghmore Estate in Co Waterford over the August bank holiday weekend.
But some were left disappointed after they faced huge traffic jams both in and out of the campsite.
Today, organisers issued a statement saying: "Firstly, the All Together Now Team would like to say we are absolutely and fully committed to making sure that the issues that arose at this year’s festival are not repeated.
"We have taken in every comment, every email and are carefully taking note of where we need to improve.
"We have met and are working closely with An Garda Siochana and our other partner agencies to ensure that the traffic experienced travelling to this year’s festival does not happen again.
"We aim for the highest standards and plan to deliver the best festival experience possible.
"We are deeply disappointed that some areas of this year's All Together Now fell short of expectations, and for this, we are truly sorry."
They added: "We have been heartened by the All Together Now community that has taken the time to share their experience with us.
"Although there were negatives, which we have to and will address and improve for our third edition, there were some amazing and memorable moments."
Next year's festival will take place over the August Bank Holiday Weekend - July 31 - August 2, 2020.
The festival capacity will not be increased as organisers say they "endeavour to improve the overall experience for our loyal audience."
