C2C Festival Unveils 2026 Bluebird Café, Afterparty and Song Suffragettes Line-Ups

The official Bluebird Café, Afterparty and Song Suffragettes line-ups have dropped for C2C Festival 2026, with a host of exciting additions confirmed for the stellar bill.

We already can't wait for the UK country extravaganza to return across March 13th to 15th, but these newly announced rosters have ensured the anticipation is through the roof ahead of this year's C2C, which is once again taking place in London, Glasgow and Belfast. The Bluebird Café has evolved into a much-loved feature of the London leg of C2C, with a handful of masterful singer-songwriters gathering together in the intimate setting of the O2 Blueroom in a recreation of Nashville's iconic Bluebird, which has hosted an array of legendary artists.

Emily Ann Roberts, Aaron Ratiere and McCoy Moore will perform at 10am on Saturday, 14th March, with Meg McCree, Liam St. John and Jeff Cohen taking the 1pm Saturday slot. Jade Bird, Mae Estes and Tyce Delk will perform at 10am on Sunday, 15th.

The official Afterparties have a similarly stacked roster of hitmakers, with Emily Ann Roberts headlining the Friday night, before Jackson Dean takes the stage on the Saturday. Ashley Cooke will close out C2C Festival 2026 with a live-wire Sunday set. After each headline set, Rattlesnake Johnny will be taking the helm in the DJ booth.

Another popular event, Song Suffragettes, is returning for C2C 2026, with Alyssa Flaherty, Georgia Ku, Hannah MacFarland and Maya Lane performing at Sunday 15th March at 1pm. The showcase is designed to spotlight stellar women in country, with a host of celebrated artists and songsmiths having taken part in the series.

What's more, ‘Heavens to Betsy’ singer-songwriter Jackson Dean has been confirmed as a co-host on the main-stage alongside BBC Radio 2 veteran, Bob Harris. They'll be introducing some of the fantastic artists on display in the main arena, including Zach Top, Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, Scotty McCreery, Alana Springsteen, Noeline Hofmann, Ty Myers and many more. General On-Sale for the Bluebird Café and official C2C Afterparties opens at 10am GMT on Friday 30th January.
