The Kooks to headline city's 2026 Rock N Roll Circus

The Kooks and The Vaccines are among the recently confirmed acts which will take to the stage at a festival next summer.

The groups will headline on the second night of the three-day Rock N Roll Circus at Earlham Park in Norwich, Norfolk, from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August.

Thousands of people flocked to the park for the festival's debut this year with headline performances from McFly, Courteeners and Olly Murs.

Ali O'Reilly, festival director, said: "After the incredible response to last year's debut, we wanted to create something truly special for the 2026 edition."

The bands will each perform one of their seminal albums under the festival's Big Top.

The set list will see The Kooks perform their debut platinum-selling album Inside In/Inside Out, alongside The Vaccines' debut What Did You Expect from The Vaccines? and Scottish band, The Fratellis, with their debut Costello Music.

Festival organisers previously announced that Madness and Ocean Colour Scene will perform on the closing day of the event.

Alongside music acts, the festival has a full programme of circus performers, aerialists, fire shows and workshops.

Ms O'Reilly said: "Norwich wanted the circus back - and we've listened.

"A full day of iconic albums performed by three huge British bands is exactly that, with lots more artists still to be announced. These are records that define entire eras for so many people, it is set to be a special Saturday!"

Presale tickets go live on Wednesday, 19 Novembe,r with general sale from Friday 21 November.
