This Feeling By The Sea announces 2026 lineup
This Feeling By The Sea is returning to Bridlington Spa in April.
This Feeling By The Sea returns in 2026 with its biggest line-up yet, headlined by The Lilacs and The Clause. The grassroots festival takes over Bridlington Spa on April 17 and 18, offering indie fans an early taste of festival season.
Founder Mikey Jonns said: “Every act has started off with us in a grassroots venue, and the journey to Bridlington Spa makes for the most glorious atmosphere. Tickets are already flying out!”
Friday night belongs to The Lilacs, whose EP The 395 (To Forever) drew comparisons to Arctic Monkeys and The Courteeners. Their rise has included festival sing-alongs, a Sting support slot, and a sold-out headline at Manchester Academy. Vocalist Ollie Anglesea said: “We first played here in 2023 and always knew we’d headline one day. Now that time has come.”
Saturday sees The Clause top the bill, fresh from the success of debut album Victim of a Casual Thing, which hit #1 on the Official Independent Albums Chart and broke into the UK Top 20. Pearce Macca calls the Bridlington headline slot “an honour with a ridiculous line-up.”
The weekend also features The Rosadocs, GIRLBAND!, The Bracknall, Crystal Tides, and more, plus a new Sessions stage spotlighting acts like Dirty Blonde, Fitzroy Holt, Breeze, and Alright.
With support from compere Fenners and DJs Jericho Keys and John Kennedy, the two-day event promises wall-to-wall new music. Tickets are priced at £50 for the weekend, £30 per day, and £10 for under-12s. Head here to bag yours.
