Organisers have announced the main musical acts for the 2026 Lazydays Festival, which will take place at Priory Park in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, from July 24 to July 26, 2026. British rapper Tinie Tempah is billed for Friday, followed by rock band Feeder on Saturday and disco legends Sister Sledge on Sunday.
This year marks the third time the festival has come to the city, with organisers aiming to sell around 12,000 tickets across the three days. The event is split into four sessions across the weekend (a Friday night session; two sessions on Saturday; and a Sunday session) to help manage crowd sizes and park access.
Information from Visit Southend and the festival’s own publicity shows the event will feature more than 30 acts across three stages, with additional artists to be announced. Attendees will also have access to 50+ craft drinks supplied by more than 25 independent producers throughout the weekend.
The festival is run by WeCraft Events, founded by local residents. A portion of the money raised from the event will go toward supporting YMCA Southend’s youth music programme (the “All in Music” initiative).
