Coast Fest '26 - Supporting Quinn's Retreat

Coast Fest ’26 returns for an unforgettable August bank holiday weekend on 28th, 29th & 30th August 2026 — bringing together huge headline performances, rising talent, and the very best of the local music scene.
Proudly crowned Best New Festival in the UK 2023, Coast Fest has quickly become one of the most exciting independent festivals in the country, known for its welcoming atmosphere, incredible live entertainment, and commitment to supporting local artists alongside nationally recognised acts.

This year’s festival features an outstanding headline line-up, beginning on Friday night with Boyzlife, featuring Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy. Bringing together the music of Westlife and Boyzone, Boyzlife deliver a huge live show packed with chart-topping hits, nostalgia, and crowd favourites from two of the biggest pop groups of all time.

Saturday’s headline act is still to be announced, with another huge name set to join the Coast Fest stage.
Closing the festival on Sunday are The Ordinary Boys, one of the defining indie bands of the 2000s. Known for acclaimed albums including Over the Counter Culture and Brassbound, the band bring their signature mix of indie rock, ska and punk energy to Coast Fest for what promises to be an unforgettable festival finale.

Alongside the headline acts, Coast Fest continues its tradition of showcasing the very best emerging and established local talent, giving festivalgoers the chance to discover incredible artists from across the region throughout the weekend.

We are also proud to be collaborating with and supporting Quinn's Retreat, helping raise awareness and support for the incredible work they do within the community.

With live music, great food and drink, family-friendly entertainment, and an unbeatable atmosphere, Coast Fest ’26 is set to be the highlight of the summer.
