Sunshine Festival

🎉 EXCITED! EXCITED! 🎉
We’re absolutely BUZZING to announce another epic addition to the Sunshine Festival Main Stage lineup for Thursday night...

🔥 Please welcome the legendary THE WONDER STUFF! 🔥

Joining The Fratellis and REEF, this is going to be one unmissable start to the weekend!

🎸 The Wonder Stuff – one of the UK’s most iconic alternative rock bands – burst out of Stourbridge in the late '80s and quickly became festival favourites, with a string of hit albums, unforgettable live shows, and a UK #1 single (“Dizzy” with Vic Reeves). Led by the brilliant Miles Hunt, they’ve kept the fire alive with tours and new music ever since. Their sound blends guitar pop with folk, country and pure rock energy — and they’re ready to blow the roof off the Sunshine stage.

🌞 The Sunshine is Building...
And we’re not done yet — one more massive act is dropping soon for Thursday, plus loads of BIG HITTERS still to be announced for our huge 2026 build-up!

🚨 HURRY – SEBs end soon!

🎸 Excited! Excited! 🎸
Next up LIVE on Thursday Night – we welcome to the stage the phenomenal rock band THE FRATELLIS! 🔥

Celebrating 20 years of their iconic debut album ‘Costello Music’, The Fratellis have announced a massive UK tour kicking off in February 2026 – and we’ve got them at Sunshine to start the party!

Hailing from Scotland, The Fratellis burst onto the scene with Costello Music, an album packed with indie anthems like the cheeky “Henrietta”, the heartfelt “Whistle for the Choir”, and the unforgettable “Chelsea Dagger” – still echoing through stadiums and festival fields to this day.

After a summer of sold-out festival slots – including a storming set on the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury – the band is taking their high-octane live show back on the road to celebrate two decades of Costello Music.

Starting at Nottingham’s Rock City, the tour will hit legendary venues like Manchester Albert Hall, Hammersmith Apollo, and Liverpool Olympia, before wrapping at NX. And then…

🌞 They headline the Sunshine Festival Main Stage! Thursday.
Already booked REEF will join them and two more Big Hitters coming soon! Thursday is shaping up to be the BIGGEST and BEST start to Sunshine yet!

🎟️ SUNSHINE 26 IS COMING – and it’s coming in hot!

🎤 We Build and Build — Next Up on the Mello Stage! 🎤

The boys are BACK in town after a sell-out tour — and they’re ready to tear up Saturday night in 2026!

💥 Goldie Lookin Chain Dj set returns to the Mello Stage, mixing it up and bringing the madness like only they can. Straight outta Newport, the GLC are officially Britain’s biggest rap group, known for iconic tracks like “Guns Don’t Kill People, Rappers Do” and “Your Mother’s Got a Pen*s.”

What started as a joke — Eggsy rapping about his tracksuit over one of Rhys’s serious beats — turned into a full-blown movement. Fueled by Lambrini, f**s, Chicken Tikka Massala, and w**d, the GLC dropped their debut album “Don’t Blame the Chain”… and the rest is comedy-rap history.

From chart-topping success to world tours and festival main stages, GLC have released 18 albums and made millions laugh along the way — and, miraculously, none of them have died yet. 😎 You knows it!

🌞 The sunshine keeps building. The big hitters are landing. 2026 is shaping up to be one unforgettable holiday.

🎪 LET’S KEEP BUILDING!!! LIVE ON THE MELLO STAGE – SATURDAY 🎪

We are proud to present a truly electrifying experience. It’s time to bounce. It’s time to swing. Please welcome to the stage…

🎷 THE ELECTRIC SWING CIRCUS – LIVE! 🎧

This explosive 6-piece fusion band is known for their stunning, high-energy shows, blending saucy vintage swing with stomping electro beats. Imagine the roaring 1920s meeting a thumping modern rave – that's the ESC.

With a sound that draws deep from 1920s jazz and swing, then launches it into the future, The Electric Swing Circus re-invents electro-swing for a multi-generational crowd that knows how to move.

Expect:

✨ Vintage samples
🎸 Gypsy-jazz guitar
🎹 Dirty synths
🎻 Electric double bass
🥁 Live drums
🎤 A powerhouse female vocal duo
🔥 And beats that won't let you stand still

They’re not just performers — they’re scene leaders, running their own annual festival (Swingamajig), a regular club night (Hot Club de Swing), and curating stages across Europe.

Formed in 2011, ESC has since toured four continents, dropped three genre-defining albums, and lit up main stages at Boomtown, Shambala, and even headlined the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury.

Now they’re bringing the circus straight to Sunshine.

🎸 LET'S START BUILDING... 🎸
LIVE ON THE MELLO STAGE – FRIDAY NIGHT!

Get ready for a high-voltage night of punk and new wave as we welcome the legendary...

THE REZILLOS

Formed in 1976, The Rezillos exploded onto the scene with their off-kilter, three-minute pop gems and a visual style like no other—rooted in a world of bad boys, bad girls, cult movies, and straight-up great rock 'n' roll.

Their debut single, “I Can’t Stand My Baby”, became an underground anthem thanks to airplay on John Peel’s iconic show. What followed were a string of classics:
🎶 “My Baby Does Good Sculptures”
🎶 “Top of the Pops”
🎶 “Destination Venus”

They recorded their landmark album "Can’t Stand the Rezillos” at New York’s legendary Power Station studio, playing impromptu sets at CBGB’s and soaking in the raw energy of the punk scene. The album hit the UK Top 10 and has since become a punk rock essential.

🔥 2026 is heating up – and this is just the beginning.
