Lazydays Festival has revealed its Phase 2 line-up ahead of its return to Priory Park, running from Friday, July 24 to Sunday, July 26, 2026.
Organisers say the expanded bill is building momentum for what is expected to be the biggest edition of the independent festival to date.
They will join a headline line-up already featuring Tinie Tempah, Feeder and Sister Sledge with original lead singer Kathy Sledge.
Founded by three friends from Southend in 2024, Lazydays Festival welcomed 8,000 people in 2025 and is expected to attract more than 12,000 festivalgoers this year.
