NBHD WEEKENDER 2026 ANNOUNCES STELLAR LINE-UP FOR VICTORIA PARK RETURN
Today, fan-favourite festival NBHD Weekender has announced a stellar line-up for its return to Victoria Park in 2026.
Following the success of the festival’s comeback this year, a line-up as impressive as the last is hard to beat. Neighbourhood Weekender 2026 will feature Richard Ashcroft and Blossoms as its headline acts. During the beloved event on the May Bank Holiday weekend, they will be joined by well-known performers including Kaiser Chiefs, The K’s, DMA’S, Jamie Webster, Example, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Shed Seven, Cast, and many more. Tickets for Neighbourhood Weekender 2026 are on sale from Friday 7th November at 9.30am via www.nbhdweekender.com and www.gigsandtours.com. Residents in postcodes WA1 – WA5 will have access to a local presale, which opens at 9.30am on Wednesday 5th November.
Richard Ashcroft, a two-time Ivor Novello Award winner, is making his second appearance on Warrington’s main stage. As a special guest of Oasis, Ashcroft opened the year’s largest stadium tour, before going on to instantly sell out Manchester’s Co-op Live.
On Bank Holiday Sunday, Stockport’s Blossoms will make a triumphant return to the festival, taking centre stage. The group recently completed a five-night live residency in Manchester and delivered their biggest headline show to date, a sold-out performance at Wythenshawe Park that drew 30,000 spectators.
Joining Ashcroft and Blossoms are indie icons Kaiser Chiefs, DMA’S, Shed Seven, and Cast, as well as one of the biggest pop artists to emerge from the 2000s, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who rose to fame with her chart-topping hit “Murder on the Dancefloor.” Pop princess Melanie C, who has sold over three million albums since going solo and released classics like “I Turn to You,” will also be performing.
Returning artists such as Luvcat, The Guestlist, and Arkayla drew large crowds this year, and a stage upgrade for them is definitely overdue.
Neighbourhood Weekender is a festival that marks the start of summer in the best way possible. Make sure to grab your tickets on Friday 7th November!
