City's biggest festival announces line-up

Rizzle Kicks, Sub Focus and Sammy Virji are some of the artists set to play Bristol's biggest music festival in 2026.

Love Saves the Day will return to Ashton Court from 23 to 25 May.

Announcing its first wave of artists earlier, the festival will also include a DJ set from Confidence Man, Girls Don't Sync and Hemdi.

Tom Paine, festival director at Love Saves The Day, said: "There's a lot in this first wave we're proud of: a mix of returning favourites, long-overdue bookings and artists who've been on fire over the past year. We can't wait."

He added: "We've always built Love Saves The Day around community, good music and starting the summer in the right way - and this year's no different."

Sub Focus will return and headline the festival on the Saturday, with Sammy Virji set to headline on the Sunday.

Meanwhile British hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks are set to reunite and take to the main stage on the Sunday.

Other acts announced in the first wave include:

• Katy B
• Eve
• Mac Dean
• Enzo Siragusa
• Reeshy
• 4AM Kru
• Laidlaw
• Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn
• Joy Orbison
• Yung Singh
• Lady Shaka

Tickets for this year's festival are set to be released on 23 February.
