Tinie Tempah, Feeder, sister sledge and more announced for Lazydays Festival 2026
THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
It's finally here!
We’re buzzing to announce the first phase line-up. Lazydays Festival returns to Priory Park, Southend-on-Sea, from 24 to 26 July 2026, and we’re excited to reveal the first wave of artists for our biggest year yet.
We’re so excited to welcome UK chart powerhouse Tinie Tempah, Brit rock icons Feeder, disco royalty Sister Sledge (ft. Kathy Sledge) and special guests and indie pop favourites The Feeling, alongside a huge mix of artists that make Lazydays what it is - household names to hidden gems.
This is Chapter Three. More music, more energy, more moments - and over 50% of the lineup still to come.
Friday 24 July 2026 - Tinie Tempah
A true British icon with era-defining hits like Pass Out and Written in the Stars, Tinie Tempah knows how to turn a crowd inside out. Fresh from a sold-out UK tour and dropping new music, this Friday night set is pure big-energy Lazydays.
Saturday 25 July 2026 - Feeder
Festival legends with a catalogue built for shouting every word back at the stage. From Buck Rogers to Feeling a Moment, Feeder deliver emotional, anthemic rock that hits even harder live.
Sunday 26 July 2026 - Sister Sledge
(featuring Kathy Sledge)
Disco royalty bringing timeless joy to the Lazydays stage, with global anthems that still light up dancefloors generations on. With Kathy Sledge’s world-class vocals front and centre, expect pure celebration from first note to last.
Special Guests - The Feeling (Saturday 26 july)
Twenty years on from Twelve Stops and Home, The Feeling bring sun-soaked indie pop packed with instant singalongs. Feel-good, nostalgic and effortlessly catchy - this is golden-hour festival perfection.
Joining them over the weekend
This first wave sets the tone, with a lineup that mixes household names, cult favourites and future classics, including:
Professor Green
The Pigeon Detectives
Heather Small
We Are Scientists
Tunde - voice of The Lighthouse Family

A brand-new third venue

Expect:
Children 11 and under go free
Independent bars and craft drinks
Incredible local street food
Street theatre, pop-up performances and surprises
Silent discos, demos and VIP experiences
This is Southend’s biggest cultural weekend!
