Paint By Numbers is back for 2026, with Dork once again teaming up with DHP for a two-day run this July.
Hitting Bristol’s Thekla on Saturday 4th July and Nottingham’s The Bodega on Sunday 5th July, the event brings together a carefully curated lineup spanning established favourites and rising names.
Coach Party top the bill, joined by Cucamaras, Georgian, Lemonsuckr, Mould, Night Swimming and Silverwingkiller.
Running from 14:00 ‘til 22:00 across two stages, Paint By Numbers continues to build on its reputation for blending the best of the now and next: a full-day showcase that leans just as much on bands you already love as the ones you’re about to.
The series first launched last year, with acts including porij, My First Time, Tooth, Just For Fun, Grandmas House and Bloodworm taking to stages across the same two cities.
