A late summer swansong of sensational style, End Of The Road take things up a gear as they announced their trio of headliners for 2026.

Blimey, it’s cold right now. Winter is upon us, I fear. But don’t fret! The sunny days will be back on us faster than you can say hayfever – and with it, festival season. 

Wind yourself forward nine months. You’ve spent multiple weekends calling a tent in a field “HQ.” The majority of your savings have somehow disappeared. You feel the constant need for an IV drip, or at the very least, a Berocca. But one last high lies ahead before the hopelessness of dark winter – the End Of The Road. 

This is no new festival – this is an institution with a 20-year lineage, a scene leader with the reputation of being one of the most unique and left-field in the market. It’s wild, weird, wonderful, and raising its game ever higher. 

Just look at these first three headliners; I mean, come on. CMAT is THE artist of the moment – if you’ve seen her live before, you’ll understand that an hour with her and her sexy band is an experience worth partaking multiple times. She’s addictive. 

Anyone who saw Pulp’s secret set at Glasto this year knows that Jarvis and crew have still got it. The chance to scream “Common People” alongside thousands of others? That is the epitome of living.

And then there’s Mac. Ah, Mac. Who doesn’t just absolutely love that fella? He’s the cream of the sonic crop, the nicest guy in music. Sure to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

Oh, and then there’s a secret headliner for the Thursday night… who doesn’t love a bit of mystery?

So, what is the delay? Why aren’t you already on End Of The Road’s website signing up for a hell-of-a-weekend from 3 – 6 September 2026 at Larmer Tree Garden? Good question. Most tiers have sold out too, so you’d better act fast. Run here.
