Teesside grassroots festival returns to Stockton on 26th September with multi-venue takeover.
Gathering Sounds has announced the first wave of artists for its 2026 return, with overpass, Basht. and TTSSFU leading the lineup for this year’s Stockton festival.
The multi-venue event will take place across Stockton town centre on Saturday 26th September, once again spreading live music across venues including KU, ARC, The Georgian Theatre, The Link, The Social Room and The Green.
Joining the first announcement are Good Health Good Wealth, M60, Shelf Lives, Charlie Floyd, Swindled and Daisy Brown, alongside Cutscene, George Bailey, I See Orange, James Witham, Marketplace, Marrick, The Dream Machine and The Kellows.
Festival spokesperson Jordan Kean said: “We couldn’t be more proud of this lineup, it might just be our best one to date.
“People have been desperate to know who we’ve booked this year so it’s a relief to finally be able to reveal some of the acts playing.
“I think these events are really necessary for an area like Teesside. We’re often missed off the big tours these days so being able to bring all the best new acts to people’s doorsteps is a massive boost for music fans round here.”
Gathering Sounds returns on 26th September 2026. Tickets are on sale now.
