Everything Just Added to Roundhay Festival 2026

Roundhay Festival is shaping up to be the music event of the Leeds summer, and the line-up for both days just got a serious upgrade.

The festival, brought to Leeds by AEG Presents (the team behind BST Hyde Park), takes over Roundhay Park across the first weekend of July, and fresh announcements have landed for both headline nights.

Friday 3 July: Pitbull’s Party Gets Bigger

Mr Worldwide brings his first ever Leeds headline show to Roundhay Park, and the support bill is now an absolute riot. Jason Derulo has been confirmed for the day, stepping in to join the bill with his catalogue of unavoidable pop bangers — think Talk Dirty, Swalla, Savage Love and his latest single Sexy For Me. He’s currently in the middle of his Last Dance World Tour, so expect a proper greatest hits set.

Joining him is a brilliantly leftfield addition: Mexican norteño legends Los Tucanes de Tijuana, announced on Cinco de Mayo and bringing nearly 40 years of party energy with them. They’ve collaborated with Pitbull himself on a remix of La Chona, won a Latin Grammy, and were the first norteño group ever to play Coachella. Roundhay is in for something special.

They line up alongside Tinie Tempah, fresh off new singles Eat It Up and Living Life, and the king of crunk himself, Lil Jon. Between Get Low, Yeah!, Turn Down for What and a stack of other anthems, his set alone is going to be chaos in the best possible way.

Saturday 4 July: Lewis Capaldi’s Day Adds Five More Names

Scotland’s most beloved export headlines on the Saturday, and five new names have been added to his bill. Jessie Murph leads the new additions, the American singer fusing trap, R&B, pop and country into something genuinely her own. Her 2025 album Sex Hysteria and viral tracks like Gucci Mane and Blue Strips have made her one of the most talked-about new artists around.

Fellow Scot Kerr Mercer joins with Capaldi’s personal blessing (the two have written together), bringing soulful piano-led pop and a growing reputation thanks to singles Alcohol and 0:01. Nieve Ella continues her steady rise from bedroom pop to confident indie force, fresh off her EP Watch It Ache And Bleed and new single Drive. Minnesota’s Ber brings warm alt-country from her debut album Good, Like It Should Be, and Amex Unsigned artist Maya Lane completes the additions with her Fleetwood Mac and Kacey Musgraves influenced folk-pop.

They join previously announced special guests Conan Gray and Jacob Alon on a day that’s looking properly stacked.

Tickets and Info

Both days are on sale now at roundhayfestival.com, with more artists still to be announced. Midweek programming will feature free arts, culture and wellbeing activities too, so there’s plenty more to come from the festival’s debut year.

Roundhay Park has hosted everyone from The Rolling Stones to Madonna to Ed Sheeran over the years. July’s about to add another chapter.
