"Whether you came for the beef, the beers, the good times or all of the above - your support means the world to us. We couldn’t do Beefstock without you!"

One of the founders, Anthony 'Murf' Murphy, previously said that after the success of the 2025 event, they wanted to deliver bigger and better.

The event was well attended, with Saturday tickets selling out before the big day came.
