The stacked line-up for Neighbourhood Weekender 2026 has been shared, with Richard Ashcroft, Blossoms, DMA’s, Kaiser Chiefs leading the way.
The forthcoming edition of the festival will be taking place on the bank holiday weekend in May (Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24), and return to the Victoria Park site in Warrington.
Today (Friday October 31), the first wave of names have been announced, with Richard Ashcroft headlining on the Saturday instalment.
His place on the bill comes following the former Verve frontman accompanying Oasis alongside Cast through all their UK and Ireland shows – including their homecoming Heaton Park shows, their huge Wembley Stadium gigs, two stops at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and two stops in Dublin’s Croke Park. He is also due to go on a run of solo headline arena dates early next year to support his new album, ‘Lovin’ You’.
Joining him on the bill for that day is Cast, as well as Kaiser Chiefs, The K’s, Example, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Alessi Rose, Brooke Combe and more.
On the second day of the Warrington festival, indie heavyweights Blossoms sit at the top of the line-up, followed by DMA’s and Jamie Webster.
For Blossoms, the slot comes after they shared the deluxe version of their fifth album ‘Gary’ earlier this year, and have gone on to confirm a 2026 European headline tour, making stops in cities including Amsterdam, Paris, Milan and Zurich.
Also on the bill for the second day of Neighbourhood Weekender 2026 is Shed Seven, Razorlight, The Royston Club, Melanie C, The Fratellis, Westside Cowboy, Villanelle, Luvcat and more.
The announcement shares that more performers will be confirmed soon, and tickets will be on sale from next Friday (November 7) at 9:30am. Visit here for tickets and more information.
James and Stereophonics lead the line-up for the 2025 edition of Neighbourhood Weekender, and others on the bill included The Wombats, The Reytons, Ocean Colour Scene, The Snuts and Amy MacDonald.
On the Sunday of this year’s edition, performances also came from The Lathums, Inhaler, Sigrid, Dizzee Rascal, Mercury Prize-nominated CMAT, and English rock band Wunderhorse.
