Time Out

Country To Country returns in March 2026 for three-days of live music across the United Kingdom, with a revolving line-up of country music’s biggest stars and most-exciting newcomers travelling between London, Glasgow and Belfast between 13th and 15th March. After a record number of ‘early bird’ tickets were sold in March, remaining tickets for Country To Country go on general sale on Friday 26th September at 10am.

Since 2013, C2C has become the premier destination to see the world’s best country artists and future stars outside of North America. 2026 will see another host of incredible artists perform at The O2, London, The OVO Hydro, Glasgow and, The SSE Arena, Belfast.

A pioneering event in bringing country stars to UK audiences, C2C is delighted to announce this year’s headliners:  CMA, ACM and Grammy Award winning Brooks & Dunn will headline C2C for the first time ever, marking the Country Music Hall of Fame recipients’ first appearances in the UK since 2010. CMA, ACM and Grammy Award winning Keith Urban returns to C2C for the first time in 7 years. Finally, reigning ACM ‘New Male Artist of the Year’ Zach Top performs in the UK for the first time ever, after recently being nominated for 5 CMA awards.

They are joined by C2C fan favourites Scotty McCreery, Russell Dickerson and Drake Milligan alongside a host of rising stars returning to the festival after breakout years, including Bayker Blankenship, Kameron Marlowe, Ashley Cooke, Mackenzie Carpenter, Tyler Braden and Alana Springsteen, who co-hosted the main stage alongside Bob Harris in 2024. Completing the line up, Waylon Wyatt and Noeline Hofmann will make their C2C debuts.

Since its inaugural event in 2013 headlined by Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood at The O2, London, Country to Country has grown to a three-day multi-arena event featuring the best in country music, with tens of thousands in attendance each year. Not only does C2C feature performances from the world’s best country stars it also showcases the best of emerging talent from Nashville, UK and Europe. Heading into its thirteenth year, BBC Radio 2 continues as the broadcast partner for the event, while the Country Music Association (CMA) continues as a key festival partner.

“CMA is proud to once again sponsor the Spotlight Stage at C2C,” Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer, says. “Helping rising Country artists take their music to international audiences, and working alongside the industry that champions them worldwide, remains central to our mission. We are grateful for our continued collaboration with C2C, a valued partner since the very beginning.”

Helen Thomas, Head of BBC Radio 2, says: “Radio 2 remains committed to specialist music, and Bob Harris’ Country Show continues to be the nation’s most popular country music programme. We’re proud to have been the broadcast partner of C2C since its launch in 2013, and I’m delighted that this relationship will continue in 2026, as it’s one of the highlights in our live music calendar. The appeal of Country music continues to grow in the UK, and Radio 2 will continue to respond to this, producing many hours of country music programming which our listeners can hear again and again on BBC Sounds.”

Bob Harris says: “I’ve been extremely proud to host Country to Country Festival in London since the very first weekend in 2013 and I can't wait to host the main stage again in 2026. It's been incredible to see C2C grow into a standout moment in the global Country music community. I'm so thrilled that Radio 2 has been at the heart of the festival from day one, bringing the very best of Country talent to fans and helping make Country the fastest-growing music genre in the UK."
