Together Again Festival 2026: New Tickets Released
Get ready, families and festival-lovers alike — Together Again Festival is returning to Cheshire next summer, and second-release tickets are now available.
Set across three days from 24 to 26 July 2026 on the grounds of the historic Bolesworth Castle, the festival promises something for everyone — live music, comedy, cabaret, rides, cinema and more, all wrapped in a family-friendly atmosphere. Though the full artist lineup is yet to be revealed, past editions have featured names like Olly Murs, Cat Burns, Dizzee Rascal, Scouting for Girls and Sister Sledge, suggesting there’s plenty to look forward to.
Festivalgoers can expect multiple music zones: dance and electronic in the Agora tent, country in The Ranch, and nostalgic sets in Rewind, plus a central Together Stage bringing all audiences together.
Beyond music, the festival leans hard into family appeal — over 50 free activities are scheduled in the “Tic Tac Toe” area: climbing walls, science experiments, workshops, quizzes, singalongs, and more. Camping is part and parcel of the experience, with options ranging from standard to boutique, family camping or motorhome pitches catering to different styles.
The Cheshire setting, about 1 hour 15 minutes from Manchester, offers a relaxed yet accessible weekend escape. Whether you’re planning with kids, friends, or solo vibes, Together Again 2026 is shaping up to be a summer highlight.

Isle of Wight Festival 2026: Big Names Lead the Line-Up
The Isle of Wight Festival 2026 just confirmed headline acts that promise to electrify Seaclose Park over the weekend of 19–21 June. Leading the charge are Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris, and The Cure — three very different acts, each with serious pull.
Capaldi is booked for Friday, returning to festival stages with his emotionally charged ballads. His recent success — with chart-topping tracks and a high-profile arena tour — sets expectations high. On Saturday, EDM titan Calvin Harris takes over, promising a full-on dance spectacle with hits like “We Found Love” and “Feel So Close,” likely backed by striking visuals and production. The final night is reserved for The Cure, who bring four decades of depth and an enduring legacy to close the festival with gravitas.
The supporting bill is equally strong: Wet Leg returns in home territory, Teddy Swims (making a festival debut), Tom Grennan (headline of the Big Top), and even Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter guarantee contrast and excitement. Names like The Last Dinner Party, David Gray, KT Tunstall, Rick Astley, Feeder, Shed Seven, Starsailor, Jo Whiley, FIVE, Suzanne Vega, and Anastacia round out what already looks like a stacked first wave of the lineup.
Tickets go on sale 1 October at 8am — fans would be wise to move quickly given the star power involved.

Primavera Sound 2026: A Star-Studded Line-Up
The iconic Primavera Sound festival has dropped its 2026 line-up, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. For its 24th edition — running 4–6 June 2026 — the roster is blistering: headliners include The Cure, with supporting heavyweights like Doja Cat, The XX, Gorillaz, PinkPanthress, Lola Young, Little Simz, KNEECAP, Mac DeMarco, and My Bloody Valentine.
The Cure’s presence is especially notable — they already hold the record for the longest set in the festival’s history, and their recent wave of rejuvenation following Songs of a Lost World suggests their 2026 slot will be a highlight. Meanwhile, the inclusion of My Bloody Valentine is a coup for shoegaze fans — their dreamlike soundscapes are sure to resonate over the Barcelona evenings.
Beyond the main lineup, Primavera is expanding the experience. An opening and closing party flank the festival, while a parallel program (yet to be fully disclosed) extends the celebration across a full week. Ticketing details are in motion: general sale opens 30 September, while early bird/fan-sale access runs until 28 September via the Primavera site.
With such a diverse spectrum — from genre defiers like KNEECAP to pop powerhouses and alternative heavyweights — Primavera Sound 2026 aims to deliver a transcendent experience blending style, surprise, and sonic ambition.

Bearded Theory 2026: Pixies & Skunk Anansie Headline
Independent festival Bearded Theory has revealed its first wave of headliners for 2026, booking Pixies and Skunk Anansie as co-headliners for its return to Catton Park, Derbyshire from 20–24 May. The Pixies will mark their 40th anniversary during their headline performance, adding extra weight to their slot.
The lineup beneath them is rich and varied. Spoken-word punks Big Special, noise-rock outfit Fat Dog, folk-punk acts Ferocious Dog, and the energetic Lambrini Girls are just a few of the additions. Returning favorites Panic Shack make their mark, and post-punk royalty Peter Hook & The Light (formerly of Joy Division / New Order) anchor the alt-sound corner.
Beyond music, Bearded Theory prides itself on community and inclusivity. The Festival School returns, offering education and immersive workshops to children with free or subsidised places — praised by major outlets as one of the UK’s most inclusive kids’ programs. Ticket sales already open, with monthly installment options allowing fans to spread costs through till May 2026.
With eight stages, immersive arts, wellness zones, comedy, and cabaret, Bearded Theory retains its ethos as a grassroots, passionate festival where music lovers gather beyond mere spectacle.

Green Man Festival 2026: Tickets Vanish in Under Two Hours
The Green Man Festival 2026 has already proven its magnetic pull — tickets sold out in less than two hours after they went on sale at 10:00 BST, say organisers. The four-day festival, held in the scenic Bannau Brycheiniog National Park near Crickhowell, attracts around 25,000 people per day in its usual edition.
While the line-up for next year has not yet been revealed, anticipation is high following strong performances in the 2025 edition, which included names like Wet Leg and CMAT. Demand for tickets this year was “the highest it’s ever been,” according to the festival’s social media statement. Organisers say the next wave of artists will likely be introduced from March 2026 onward, leading into what could be one of the festival’s most ambitious years yet.
The speed of this sell-out underscores Green Man’s reputation as a boutique, curated festival that mixes indie, folk, alternative and electronic acts with wellness, visual arts, local food, workshops and a community spirit. The festival’s setting in the Brecon Beacons adds natural beauty and escape to the music — part of its enduring appeal.
As excitement builds, fans are advised to stay alert for announcements about lineup drops, travel packages, and possibly resale or waiting-list options as the festival approaches.
