CloseUp Festival 2026 has added Girl Group, Finn Foxell and more to its lineup
The three-day new music event is headlined by Home Counties.
Four new names have been added to CloseUp Festival's 2026 lineup, with Girl Group, Finn Foxell, Sandhouse and Alphabet all set to appear at Colours Hoxton in London from 22nd to 24th May.
Now entering its 11th year, the three-day new music event is headlined by Home Counties on Friday evening's opening party, Jimothy Lacoste across Saturday's all-day programme, and Pale Blue Eyes closing out Sunday. Also performing across the weekend are Lizzie Esau, Only Real, The Slow Country, Just For Fun, This Is A Fever, Monks and Harry Crane.
CloseUp founder Sam Tucker shared his thoughts on this year's edition: "We are so back. CloseUp Festival, our biggest yearly event, returns with 2 full days and a warm-up party in 2026. Announcing in line with an entire CloseUp rebrand, and our best ever lineup (if we do say so ourselves). CloseUp Festival is now in its 11th year, which is quite wild even for us to say. As a fully independent company, being able to continuously book our favourite artists year in, year out, is nothing short of a privilege. We've spotlighted 100+ artists of varying genres, backgrounds and levels in our decade in the sun, and have no intentions of slowing down any time soon."
