Today, C2C announced its lineup for its annual festival that’s slated to take place March 12-14th between London, Manchester, and Glasgow. Over three days there will be live music, dancing, and plenty of Western-style wear to be had.

Starting September 30th at 10am, tickets powered by AXS will be available for purchase for the official presale, while general sale will begin at 10am on October 2nd. Sign up here for access. General sale begins at 10am on Friday 2nd October, here.

“Bringing the CMA Spotlight Stage to all three cities this year is a wonderful reflection of C2C's continued growth and the appetite UK fans have for what's next in Country music,” says Brittany Schaffer, CMA’s Incoming Chief Executive Officer.

Some new names will be headlining: Jelly Roll, Ashley McBryde, and Riley Green. All are CMA and ACM winners, while Ashley and Jelly Roll are also Grammy Award winners. Jelly Roll has not performed in the UK as of yet, but Riley and Ashley have performed in Britain before. 

Also hitting other stages throughout the weekend are Cooper Alan, Midland, Cole Swindell, Jackson Dean, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Carter Faith, Emily Ann Roberts, Kashus Culpepper, Blake Whiten, Mack Geiger and Laci Kaye Booth.

The CMA Spotlight Stage will now appear in all three cities, marking further expansion of the festival. Showcasing the future generation of country music in the main arena, C2C and the CMA are delighted to announce Late Night Thoughts, Colin Lynch, Chandler Walters, Benny G, Owen Riegling, Jason Scott & The High Heat, Greylan James, Lanie Gardner and Belles will all be performing in London, Manchester and Glasgow.

“This lineup shows just how global our genre has become, with artists from around the world sharing the stage. As a trade association, CMA works year-round, well beyond our awards show and festival, to support the people who power this industry. Part of that work is helping artists build careers beyond the US and supporting our growing community of international industry members, and it's a joy to see it come to life at C2C,” continues Schaffer. 

Another first for C2C is that it will be taking place in Manchester. The event will be supported by Manchester Accommodation BID, a ground-breaking initiative led by the city’s hotel and serviced apartment providers to help bring new events to Manchester and Salford. Taking place at AO Arena, C2C Manchester will spread across the city center, with artists performing at New Century during the weekend.

It was also announced over the weekend that C2C has a new partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library UK. The partnership will raise funds to provide books for young children across the UK. A donation of £1 ($1.33) for every day ticket, and £2 ($2.65) for every weekend ticket will be added for C2C 2027 with all proceeds going to the Imagination Library UK to provide children aged 0-5 with access to a new, age-appropriate book every month.

C2C will partner again this year with BBC Radio 2 and Amazon Music who are the Official Music Streaming Service for the festival. Listen to the C2C 2027 line-up exclusively here.
