Wanderlust Festival announces day splits for 2026 edition
This year, the Southampton multi-venue affair will be headlined by Squid and The Horrors.
Wanderlust Festival is returning to Southampton for its third year, boasting a lineup that’s bigger and better than ever. Topping the bill this Spring are art-rock favourites Squid and cult goth-rockers The Horrors, who’ll each headline one day of the stacked South Coast weekender (which takes place on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th May).
Split between three of the city’s most beloved venues - Joiners, The 1865, and Heartbreakers - Wanderlust 2026 will also feature sets from some of alternative music’s finest outfits, including South London trio Honeyglaze, Belfast electro-punks (and DIY Class of 2026 alumni) Chalk, and Neu stalwarts Blood Wizard.
Early Bird and Tier 1 tickets for this year’s edition of Wanderlust are already sold out, but you can nab General Admission Tier 2 tickets and individual day tickets here.
There are still many more names to be announced before May, but in the meantime you can check out the lineup poster as it stands below.
