By Eve Smallman
Indie band Wombats and indie-rock band Snow Patrol will headline Splendour Festival on July 18-19 2026.
Liverpool-trio The Wombats, who are known for songs like Let’s Dance to Joy Division and I’m Moving to New York, will headline on the Saturday.
On Sunday, the Grammy-nominated Northern Irish / Scottish band Snow Patrol will headline, performing hits such as Chasing Cars, Run, and Open Your Eyes.
“We’re delighted to welcome The Wombats and Snow Patrol as the two headliners for Splendour 2026,” says Anton Lockwood, DHP Family Director of Live. “With sing-along-hits and huge anthems, they are both artists we’ve been wanting to secure for a very long time — so it’s fantastic they are both coming to Nottingham.”
Past line-ups have featured Richard Ashcroft, Kaiser Chiefs, Anne-Marie, Becky Hill, Jake Bugg, Madness, The Darkness, Pet Shop Boys, Calvin Harris, Dizzee Rascal, and many more.
