Exciting news, Country Calling fans! You asked, and we listened! The day splits for our 2026 lineup are now out - check out the poster below to see who’s playing on each day so far. And there are more artists still to be announced, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!
Here’s a taste of what’s in store:
Friday Night Headliner: South Dakota's Tyler Halverson – if you love artists who mix classic country heart with fresh storytelling and a slightly rebellious edge, Tyler fits the bill. He debuted at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in 2024, played C2C Festival in 2025, and is currently on an arena tour with Parker McCollum. Please note: Our Friday programme is exclusive to weekend ticket holders, so you’ll need a weekend pass to see him.
Saturday Night Headliner: Hailing from North Carolina, Parmalee – country music hitmakers with 6 Number One singles, performing their UK debut and exclusive UK show in 2026, alongside Tyler Rich, Charlie Worsham, Madeline Merlo, and many more.
Sunday Night Headliner: Mississippi country music legend Randy Houser – making his first ever UK festival appearance, much to the demand of his fans here. This marks a very welcome return to the UK after almost a decade, alongside James Johnston, Erin Kinsey, Drew Green, and many more.
