Pulp, CMAT & Mac DeMarco announced as headliners for End of the Road 2026

End of the Road Festival will be celebrating a big birthday next year, and they’re marking the occasion in the most appropriate way possible: by inviting three huge headliners along for the fun. 

The fest - which will be celebrating its 20th edition next summer - has announced that Sheffield indie-rock icons Pulp will be topping the bill in celebration of their 2025 Mercury Prize-shortlisted album ‘More’. They’ll be joined by the always-brilliant CMAT (aka the current DIY cover star), and Mac DeMarco, who’ll be returning to headline for the first time since 2017.

That’s not all the festival have up their sleeve, either. Alongside the three headliners announced today, they’ve also confirmed that they have a fourth act confirmed to close proceedings on the event’s Thursday evening, but will be keeping that secret for a little bit longer. In that same spirit, organisers are saying that next year’s fest is “for people who like their weekends a little weirder, a little smarter, and a lot more alive”, ooh-er. 

As ever, End of the Road will take place at Larmer Tree Gardens, near the border of Dorset and Wiltshire, with the 2026 edition happening from 3rd til 6th September 2026. Tier 4 tickets are on sale now, with a range of payment plans on offer.
