Festival organisers have confirmed travel arrangements and an expanded programme for the upcoming Lazydays Festival at Priory Park in Southend-on-Sea. The event will offer visitors a free shuttle bus service from Southend Central Station to the park throughout the weekend to encourage eco-friendly travel.
The shuttle bus will depart from Stop M on Clifftown Road, located on the London-bound side of the station. As part of a partnership with c2c, attendees who book their travel by rail can also receive a 10 per cent discount by using the code c2ctrain10 at the checkout.
The festival features a diverse lineup of performers across three stages. Confirmed acts for the 2026 edition include headliners Tinie Tempah, Feeder, and Sister Sledge, alongside artists such as Professor Green, The Pigeon Detectives, and Heather Small. The programme is split into sessions across the weekend of July 24-26, 2026.
In addition to the music, the festival will host over 50 craft drinks, street food vendors, and various food experiences. Families can access a range of activities, including circus skills, street theatre, and arts and crafts. Children aged 11 and under can attend the festival for free, with discounted tickets available for those aged 12 to 17.
The event has seen significant growth, with attendance rising from approximately 5,500 in 2024 to more than 8,500 in 2025. Tickets for the Lazydays Festival are currently available online.
