Sheffield’s most spectacular event is set to return this summer, and after three successful years at Don Valley Bowl, bringing huge names to the Steel City, 2026 is shaping up to be the most exciting yet.

Following the announcements of The Streets and Richard Ashcroft as two of this years’ headliners, the first names for the Saturday event have now been revealed. Topping the bill is one of the UK’s most exciting bands at the moment, Wunderhorse. 2024 saw the release of their sophomore album ‘Midas‘, which charted at #6 in the UK Official Album Charts before topping the UK Official Singles Sales chart, Physical Singles chart, and Vinyl releases chart for their latest track ‘The Rope‘.

Having supported huge names such as Sam Fender and Fontaines D.C, the Cornish quartet are ready to take things up a notch with just their second festival headline slot to their name. Joining them for the Saturday will be Baxter Dury, Mercury Prize winners English Teacher and the return of Fat Dog, who performed at the 2025 edition, will be joining this years line-up.

Now firmly established as one of the UK’s most unique live events, Rock N Roll Circus fuses world-class artists with aerialists, acrobats, fire performers, workshops and street theatre. With the main stage housed inside the Big Top, every show feels immersive, intimate and weather-proof.
