The Brit Fest announced its 2027 line-up at a launch event at Delta Hotels by Marriott in Manchester on Thursday 24 September 2026.
The event brought sponsors, traders and some of the 2027 acts together with local media to witness the line-up announcement. ’90s Britpop band Ocean Colour Scene, Soft Cell founder Marc Almond and one half of pop band Bros, Matt Goss, were announced as headliners.
Symphonic Ibiza, who bring Ibiza anthems to life with a live orchestra, will open the Thursday evening of the festival. Elsewhere across the weekend are Lightning Seeds, Huey Morgan of Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Heaven 17, The Brand New Heavies and The Magic Numbers.
The Brit Fest founders, Edward and Anthony Prophet, said: “For 2027, we have created four days that each have their own identity while still feeling unmistakably like The Brit Fest. There are artists people have loved for decades, songs everyone knows and performers that a new generation of festival-goers will discover for the first time.
“This will be our biggest edition yet, but it will retain the warmth, character and sense of community that have carried us from the very beginning. We want people to look at this line-up and know that next July, there is only one place they want to be.”
Tickets for Brit Fest go on sale on Thursday 1 October; more information is available here.
