Richard Ashcroft and Blossoms lead Neighbourhood Weekender 2026 line-up
Neighbourhood Weekender 2026 have announced the line-up for next year’s festival, headed by Richard Ashcroft, Kaiser Chiefs, and Blossoms.
The next edition of the festival will take place on May’s bank holiday weekend, on the 23rd and 24th of the month. As always, it will be located at Victoria Park in Warrington.
On October 31st, the festival dropped the first wave of artists that will be kicking up a storm as the summer sun begins to peek its head over the UK. On the Saturday night, Richard Ashcroft will headline, supported by Kaiser Chiefs and The K’s.
Also in line for the Saturday, Example will come to Warrington, while Sophie Ellis-Bextor will call for murder on the dancefloor, and Cast will remind us that we are, in fact, all doing alright. Alessi Rose, Cassia, and Brooke Combe will also feature.
It’s been a huge year for Ashcroft, who has garnered thousands of new fans since accompanying Oasis on their UK and Ireland shows. The former Verve frontman is also set to go on a solo run of shows early next year to support his recently-released album, Lovin’ You.
On the Sunday, Blossoms are set to headline. In support, DMA’s and Jamie Webster will take the other key slots, while sets are also expected from Shed Seven, Razorlight, The Roystonclub, Melanie C, and The Fratellis. Luvcat, who was awarded Far Out’s ‘Album of the Week‘ this week, will also take to the Warrington site.
The festival promises that more performers will be announced shortly. The 2025 line-up saw the likes of The Wombats, James, Stereophonics, Ocean Colour Scene and The Snuts play on the Saturday. On the Sunday, Mercury Prize nominee CMAT was joined by the likes of The Lathums, Inhaler, and Sigrid.
Line-up announcements for 2026 are slowly trickling through. Recently, Primavera Festival in Barcelona announced that Gorillaz, The Cure, Gorillaz, Doja Cat, and The XX will headline.
