End of the Road announce Pulp, CMAT and Mac DeMarco as headliners
End of the Road have confirmed Pulp, CMAT and Mac DeMarco as headliners for 2026.
The Dorset festival, which sits at the end of the British summer season, will take place again in Larmer Tree Gardens between September 3rd and September 6th, 2026.
While the festival has announced three headliners so far, there is still one headliner left to be announced, which won’t be revealed ahead of time.
End of the Road confirmed in a press release, “Thursday night’s Headliner will remain a secret until the last minute – is for people who like their weekends a little weirder, a little smarter, and a lot more alive.”
Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of End of the Road, which they will bring out all of the stops to celebrate.
The inclusion of Pulp on the line-up marks the first time in the festival’s history that the Sheffield band have performed at End of the Road, and is also a UK festival exclusive for 2026.
Earlier this week, Pulp confirmed news of a one-off outdoor show at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 28th, 2026, which they said “is likely to be our only major UK headline concert” of the calendar year.
Meanwhile, Mac DeMarco, who recently concluded a run of UK shows, also recently announced plans to return to these shores again next summer for another set of concerts, which coincides with End of the Road.
CMAT, who released her latest album Euro-Country in August, was announced as a festival headliner for the first time only last week, when it was revealed she would top the bill at London’s Lido in 2026. Now, she has End of the Road to add to her headliner resumé.
Tickets are now on sale for End of the Road.
