Superconformal field theories (SCFTs) of Argyres-Dougles type are inherently strongly coupled and provide a window onto remarkable non-perturbative phenomena (such as mutually non-local massless dyons and relevant Coulomb branch operators of fractional dimension). I am going to discuss the first explicit proposal for the holographic duals of a class of SCFTs of Argyres-Douglas type. The theories under examination are realised by a stack of M5-branes wrapped on a sphere with one irregular puncture and one regular puncture. In the dual 11d supergravity solutions, the irregular puncture is realised as an internal M5-brane source.
