Some of Our 2026 Highlights
To celebrate selling 10,000 tickets for Chapter 3 of Lazydays Festival - and that's incredible, thank you - we're giving away the ultimate prize...
Plus, scroll to check out some highlights from the 2026 edition.
FRIDAY - THE PARTY STARTS
For the first time, the gates open at 2pm on Friday... so get that half-day annual leave booked. 😉
🎷 There are some huge names on Friday night, but trust us on this one: make sure you're down the front for Ellie Sax on the Ruark Common Stage and Abi Flynn in The Big Hop (with Radio One hits like Here In Your Arms and come aliv3). IFYKYK.
🐶 Keep an eye out for Dogshow, popping up from The TicketPlan Breakwater Stage and around the site throughout the day. It's brilliantly bonkers and unlike anything else you'll see all weekend.
🧠 We Will Quiz You lands in The Thirsty Moose at 16:45, and it's brand new for 2026. Think pub quiz... but festival style.
SATURDAY - A HUGE INDIE SINGALONG
Saturday is absolutely stacked... and not just on the Ruark Common Stage.
🔥 Over on the TicketPlan Break Water Stage, make sure you catch Crisis with a Y for future bragging rights "I saw them before they got massive".
🎶 The Feeling joins us as special guests on the Ruark Common Stage, celebrating 20 years of Twelve Stops and Home.
🎧 As the sun goes down, Indie Cult Club take over the Silent Disco in The Thirsty Moose.
🌲 And yes... THE ACTUAL GRUFFALO will be making appearances throughout the day.
SUNDAY HITS DIFFERENT
Don't make the mistake of thinking Sunday is the quiet day...
😂 The Little Smash Comedy Club returns to The Thirsty Moose for day two of its first-ever comedy takeover in a Lazydays first!
🧪 Magic Dave's Totally Awesome Science Show is packed with explosions, experiments and plenty of audience participation for little ones.
🎭 Keep your eyes peeled for Hodman and Sally, roaming the festival with their wonderfully quirky blend of street theatre and unexpected moments.
🌊 Over on the Ticket Plan Break Water Stage, don't miss Beach for Tiger. Southend favourites and one of the most exciting local bands around right now.
Sunday might just be the weekend's best-kept secret.
Now’s the time to lock in your plans, rally your crew, and get ready to make every moment count at Lazydays 2026!
We can’t wait to see you in the sunshine.
Andy, Elliott & Mike
