Neighbourhood Festival confirms Florence Road, Keo, Brògeal and more for 2026 lineup
The Manchester multi-venue fest will take place on Saturday 17th October this year.

Neighbourhood Festival is returning to Manchester this autumn for what’s already shaping up to be a belter of a weekend for new music discovery.
Due to take over 11 of the city’s most iconic venues on Saturday 17th October, the day fest’s 2026 edition will feature performances from the likes of Florence Road (our very own Class of 2026 cover stars), hugely-hyped newcomers Keo, and Scottish party-starters Brògeal, as well as Manchester-formed outfit The Guest List and buzzy alt-rockers Tooth.
This year promises to be an extra-special one, too, as Neighbourhood celebrates a whole decade since its inception in 2016; over the past ten years, it’s played host to some of the UK’s biggest names - including Sam Fender, Yungblud, Declan McKenna, and Mahalia - before they went stratospheric.
Many more names for Neighbourhood 2026 are still yet to be announced, but you can get ahead of the game and nab tickets here from 10am on Friday 13th March. Stay tuned…

Class of 2026: Florence Road
Back in January, Wicklow four-piece Florence Road were yet to play a gig outside of Ireland. Fast forward 12 months to now, and the band have travelled the world, released their debut mixtape ‘Fall Back’, and played alongside the likes of Wolf Alice, Wallows and Olivia Rodrigo; all while firmly staking their claim as the fast-rising new band to get behind.
