Primal Scream, Craig David Presents TS5, Editors, The K’s and The Flaming Lips have been confirmed as the latest major additions to the Splendour Festival 2026 line-up. They join previously announced headliners The Wombats and Snow Patrol for Nottingham’s largest outdoor music event, taking place at Wollaton Park on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July 2026.
This significant lineup update brings a diverse mix of rock, garage, and indie icons to the East Midlands. Scottish rock legends Primal Scream will make their festival debut at Splendour, bringing classic hits like Movin’ On Up and Rocks to the main stage. Meanwhile, Craig David returns to Wollaton Park with his acclaimed TS5 soundsystem set, following a successful previous appearance at the festival.
Weekend tickets for the festival are currently on second release, priced from £112.50 plus booking fees, after the first release allocation sold out. Day tickets are also available, priced at £80 for general admission, with discounts available for city residents. Organisers have confirmed that youth tickets are available for those aged 11-17, while children under 11 can attend for free when accompanied by an adult.
Anton Lockwood, DHP Family Director of Live, commented on the announcement: “I’m delighted to say that Splendour is back with another huge line-up, featuring massive chart-topping anthems from the likes of headliners Snow Patrol and The Wombats, mixed with the singalong classics of Craig David and Estelle, some of our favourite new music from Kingfishr, Divorce, and alt blk era, plus a range of indie icons and entertainment for the whole family.”
Beyond the main stage attractions, the festival has secured American alternative rock pioneers The Flaming Lips. Known for their spectacular and unpredictable live shows, the band will bring their interactive audio-visual experience to the Parkside Stage. Indie fans can also look forward to performances from Editors, whose latest material leans into electro-industrial rock, and The K’s, who have become firm favourites on the UK live circuit.
The line-up demonstrates a strong commitment to both heritage acts and emerging talent. 90s icons Cast, The Pigeon Detectives, and The Futureheads are set to perform, alongside hip-hop pioneers The Sugarhill Gang and ska legend Neville Staple from The Specials. Representing the local music scene, Nottingham favourites Divorce and MOBO-nominated alt blk era will take to the main stages, highlighting the region’s musical output.
Away from the live music, the festival will feature the return of Day Fever, the daytime disco concept created by actress Vicky McClure and her husband Johnny Owen. The fringe entertainment schedule also includes The Beatles Dub Club, Craig Charles bringing funk and soul grooves, and a variety of family-friendly activities including the Little Splendours children’s area and fairground rides.
