Thousands enjoy the fun at Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus in Sheffield
A huge Sheffield music festival has announced a new headliner among big names for 2026
Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus will return to Don Valley Bowl next year over the August Bank Holiday weekend – running between Friday, August 28 and Sunday, August 30. Richard Ashcroft will headline the Sunday evening joining previously announced Friday headliners The Streets – with the Saturday headliner still to be revealed.
Richard Ashcroft joined Oasis on the iconic band’s comeback tour earlier this year. Supporting Ashcroft on the Sunday bill, in Sheffield, will be Scottish festival giants The Fratellis and Cast, fronted by John Power, who also toured with Oasis in 2026. You can find out the ticket information for the festival here.
Festival director Ali O’Reilly said: “Richard Ashcroft is a towering figure in British music and a phenomenal live performer, so we’re thrilled to be bringing him to Sheffield for 2026. It is shaping up to be our biggest and most exciting year yet. Sheffield always brings incredible energy to Rock N Roll Circus, and we can’t wait to return to Don Valley Bowl for another unforgettable weekend.”
