Plus, a brand-new area ‘The Yard’ that will have line dancing, live music, and more

C2C just announced that 40+ names have been added to the 2026 roster of performing acts that will take place the weekend of March 13th in London at the O2 Arena. The festival is Europe’s largest Country Music Festival that happens every March between London, Glasgow, and Belfast. It’s the continent’s soothing fix of ballads, cowboy boots, and bolos.

“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.

These 40 acts will perform across 11 stages in the British capital. It’s like having Music City in Europe for three days, and there will be lots going on. Town Square will have serious Western merch on sale, as well as street food, sponsor activations, bars, and more. A new addition is coming this year. The Yard will include more entertainment. Greenwich Peninsula will host line dancing with Lil’ Nashville, live music, alternative programming, and two new bars.

The weekend would not be possible without the Country Music Association and the BBC. Radio 2 is the broadcast partner and brings top emerging talent from across the UK. For example, Olivia Lynn and Motel Sundown will open Radio 2 Stage on March 13th and 14th. “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,” says Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2.

“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,” Harris continues.

C2C London ticket holders will have access to daytime live performances and other live events. Don’t miss ‘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.
