C2C Festival Adds Over Forty Artists to 2026 Daytime Line-Up and Unveils Brand New Area, ‘The Yard’

A host of artists have been added to the C2C Festival 2026 line-up, with the newly unveiled names set to serenade us across the broad roster of daytime stages in March.

The likes of Elizabeth Nichols, Alyssa Flaherty, Annie Bosko, Chanel Yates, Maya Lane, Fanny Lumsden, Crowe Boys, Noah Rinker, Meg McRee, Jonny Morgan, The Jack Wharff Band, Julia Cole, Dylan Schneider, Liam St. John, Emily Ann Roberts and Hannah McFarland will perform at the much-loved UK country extravaganza.

Holler is proud to once again be presenting the The Saloon Stage, located above All Bar One, following a slew of packed-out sets during the 2025 edition of the festival.

The staple Town Square is returning for the 2026 instalment of C2C Festival, which is set to take place across London, Glasgow and Belfast from Friday, March 13th to Sunday 15th. This will again feature a plethora of street food, clothes stalls and more.

This year also sees the introduction of the brand new area, The Yard, to the London leg of C2C. The Yard can be found on the Greenwich Peninsula by the O2 Arena, and will offer fans the opportunity to take part in line-dancing with Lil’ Nashville, as well as serving up some stellar live music, two bars and alternative programming. What's more, the BBC Radio 2 Stage will be coming back for another year, with a selection of screenings also planned at Cineworld in the O2 Arena.

A number of artists on the daytime stage line-up will also be hitting the CMA Spotlight Stage at the O2 Arena, such as Dylan Schneider, Elizabeth Nichols and Emily Ann Roberts.

The new additions once again highlight C2C's continued commitment to showcasing up-and-coming talent in the country space, giving UK fans the chance to see future stars of the genre performing up-close before they graduate to larger venues.

As well as presenting fantastic artists from across The Pond, the 2026 C2C line-up includes a number of brilliant UK trailblazers, such as Chanel Yates, Maya Lane, Jonny Morgan, Jade Bird, Georgia Ku and Ollie Hawkins. The latter joined Zach Bryan on-stage at BST Hyde Park last year to perform in front of 60,000 fans.

As well as seeing an array of prodigies and fast-emerging artists, of course, the C2C Festival 2026 boasts blockbuster country names, including Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, Zach Top, Scotty McCreery, Ashley Cooke, Russell Dickerson and many more.
