Since
its launch in 2013, Country 2 Country (C2C) has become the ultimate destination
for country music fans across the UK and Ireland, bringing Nashville’s biggest
stars to arenas in London, Glasgow, Dublin and Belfast. The festival has played
a crucial role in cementing country music’s place in the UK, introducing
audiences to both chart-topping headliners and rising Nashville talent, while
also shining a spotlight on homegrown country acts. With three days of music,
storytelling, and community, C2C has grown into Europe’s premier country music
festival, drawing fans from all corners of the globe.
Over
the years, the festival has hosted unforgettable performances from legends like
Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Kacey Musgraves and Luke Bryan, while also
helping to build a bridge between Nashville and UK country fans who once had
limited access to the genre’s biggest names. Beyond the main stage, C2C has
expanded into a multi-venue experience with intimate songwriter rounds, fan
meet-and-greets, and fringe events that transform each host city into a country
music hub for the weekend. With its rich legacy and unmatched reputation, C2C
continues to play a pivotal role in the global rise of country music and
remains a yearly highlight for fans eager to see the stars of today and
tomorrow.
The
2026 edition will feature performances at The O2 in London, The OVO
Hydro in Glasgow and The SSE Arena in Belfast. Headlining the main
stage are Brooks & Dunn, appearing at C2C for the first time since
their last UK shows in 2010, alongside Keith Urban, returning after
seven years, and Zach Top, performing in the UK for the first time.
They
are joined by fan favourites Scotty McCreery, Russell Dickerson
and Drake Milligan, as well as breakout stars Bayker Blankenship,
Kameron Marlowe, Ashley Cooke, Mackenzie Carpenter, Tyler
Braden and Alana Springsteen.
Making
their C2C debuts are Waylon Wyatt and Noeline Hofmann.
The
addition of Brooks and Dunn is a major coup for the festival. Country fans in
the UK believed they would never see the award winning legends on UK soil so
the Sunday will sell like hot cakes!!
CMA
CEO Sarah Trahern highlighted the organisation’s ongoing mission to showcase
rising country talent internationally, while Helen Thomas, Head of BBC Radio 2,
emphasised the station’s commitment to bringing country music to a growing UK
audience. Longtime host Bob Harris also shared his excitement to return,
reflecting on the festival’s growth since 2013 and its role in making country
one of the fastest-growing genres in the UK. The festival will once again
feature the CMA Spotlight Stage, Bluebird Cafe and CMA Songwriters Series, with
more artists to be announced in the coming months.
