A huge lineup drop from the West Country festival as they share their headliners for next year.

It feels like only yesterday that the Hard of Hearing team were performing rain dances in the magical realm of End of the Road Festival and watching Sharon Van Etten, Viagra Boys and Goat within the stunning gardens, devouring much needed homely baked pies and washing it all down with slightly warm cans. In fact, you can revisit our wondrous adventure here.
End of the Road once again returns in 2026 for its 20th anniversary, announcing in a crowded but exciting age where festival line-up announcements pre-Christmas is becoming a welcome new tradition to rival mulled wine and The Green Triangle. With an absolutely colossal first drop, End of the Road are not to be outdone this year, the announcement led by their biggest headliner yet, the legendary Pulp.
Already one of the mightiest line-ups in festival calendar simply through the inclusion of the Sheffield icons, End of the Road have also further shared that they will feature alongside the return of slacker-indie-crooner Mac DeMarco, along with the more recent breakout sensation CMAT and a secret headliner to be announced. You can start speculating in your group chats as to who that may or may not be ahead of the further announcements to come in the new year.
End of the Road tickets are on sale now and with one of the biggest headliners in the UK festival calendar, it’s worth giving yourself a massive treat ahead of Christmas, especially before tickets are all gone. And if you really want to get into the spirit early, check out the festival’s Christmas party at The Lexington on 4th December, featuring sets from M(h)aol, Gans and Maddie Ashman.
