Somerset House details 2026 Summer Series
This year’s headliners include Black Country, New Road, The Cribs, Benjamin Clementine and more.
London’s Somerset House has announced details of its annual Summer Series - a string of shows taking place between 16th and 26th July that invites an eclectic range of musical trailblazers to perform in its stunning outdoor courtyard.
Among those headlining the series this year are art-rock figureheads Black Country, New Road, indie statesmen The Cribs, and Mercury Prize winner Benjamin Clementine, as well as The Flaming Lips, Lightening Seeds, Palace and more.
They join a very special lineage of Summer Series alumni including Amy Winehouse, Olivia Dean, Adele and ROSALÍA, who’ve all played their own shows at Somerset House since the event’s inception in 2003.
Speaking about this year’s lineup, Head of Live Events Matthew Cook has said: “From creative trailblazers who have led the way for bold new genres, innovators whose impact can be felt across a vast array of musicians today, distinctly individual talents who continue to surprise, and future greats carving out their own path - Somerset House Summer Series once again stands as a testament to the power of the Arts.”
Tickets for Somerset House’s 2026 Summer Series will go on general sale at 10am this Friday, 6th March; find out full details here, and check out all the headliners below.
