Today, 40+ names have been added to Country To Country 2026, performing across 11 stages at The O2, London. The newly announced artists will perform sets across multiple stages around the festival footprint. The Town Square will once again be filled with a variety of traders, street food, sponsor activations, bars and more. The resident tattoo artist also returns to C2C!
An exciting addition for 2026, The Yard sees C2C London expand to offer even more entertainment for fans. Sure to be a new fan favourite, the newly created space on Greenwich Peninsula will host line dancing with Lil’ Nashville, live music, alternative programming and two new bars. More to be revealed on this soon…
Radio 2 continues as the broadcast partner for the event, while the Country Music Association (CMA) continues as a key festival partner.
Additionally, C2C has partnered with BBC Introducing and the biggest single radio station in the UK, Radio 2, bringing to the festival some of their best emerging talent from across the UK. Olivia Lynn and Motel Sundown will be opening the Radio 2 Stage on Saturday and Sunday.
Kelly Betts, Editor of BBC Introducing, says: “I’m thrilled that BBC Introducing will be joining forces with C2C for the very first time. It’s a festival we’ve had on our partners bucket list for a while, so I’m incredibly excited to have a presence there and I’m delighted that two Introducing artists will be opening the show on Saturday and Sunday showcasing some of the amazing talent we support. We can’t wait to be part of it!”
Bob Harris, says: “I’ve been extremely proud to host the Country to Country Festival in London since the very first weekend in 2013 and I can’t wait to host the main stage again this year,” Bob Harris, host of Radio 2’s Country Show says. “It’s been incredible to see C2C grow into a standout moment in the global Country music community. I’m so thrilled that Radio 2 has been at the heart of the festival from day one, bringing the very best of Country talent to fans and helping make Country the fastest-growing music genre in the UK.”
Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, says: “Radio 2 remains committed to specialist music, and Bob Harris’ Country Show continues to be the nation’s most popular country music programme. We’re proud to have been the broadcast partner of C2C since its launch in 2013, and I’m delighted that this relationship will continue this year, as it’s one of the highlights in our live music calendar. The appeal of Country music continues to grow in the UK, and Radio 2 will continue to respond to this, producing many hours of country music programming which our listeners can hear again and again on BBC Sounds.”
There will also be ‘meet and greet’ opportunities at the Radio 2 stage, Screenings in Cineworld, and Holler will once again be hosting The Saloon, interviewing select artists ahead of their performances. Country to Country opens at midday on Friday 13th May, with the festival starting at 10am over the weekend.
