BREAKING: The iconic Scottish duo, The Proclaimers, has just been confirmed to headline the Lindisfarne Festival in 2026! Festival organizers announced that the twins will take the coveted Thursday night legends slot at the event, set against the stunning backdrop of Holy Island from September 3-5, 2026.
This exciting news comes as festivalgoers prepare for one of the biggest end-of-summer celebrations in the North East. Fans of The Proclaimers can rejoice as they won’t need to “walk 500 miles” to enjoy their favorite hits live, including classics like “Letter from America” and “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).”
Festival organizers took to social media to share the thrilling announcement, stating:
“Pilgrims! We are delighted to announce that the amazing The Proclaimers are YOUR Thursday night Lindi Legends Headliners! The legendary Scottish duo will have Shorefields absolutely BOUNCING and we cannot wait! You do NOT want to miss out!”
Alongside The Proclaimers, the festival will feature a lineup of other exciting acts, including Ferocious Dog, Slipknowt, and Decrepit Youths, with more artists set to be announced later this month.
This announcement follows a recent overhaul in festival management, with new investors taking charge and Conleth Maenpaa, the original founder, remaining as festival director. The Proclaimers have a rich history with the North East, having opened and closed the Mouth of the Tyne Festival in 2023 and 2019, respectively, marking their strong connection to the region.
The Lindisfarne Festival promises to be a vibrant celebration featuring around 200 performers. Previous lineups have included popular names like dance favorite Armand Van Helden and indie band Doves, along with chart-toppers Scouting for Girls.
As anticipation builds for this year’s festival, fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early to avoid missing out on this legendary performance. With The Proclaimers headlining, the atmosphere is sure to be electric, and festivalgoers are already buzzing about this must-see event.
