Brighton & Hove’s boutique celebration of House, Disco, Funk & Soul returns to the seafront next summer, as Glorious Day Festival unveils its 2026 lineup — led by Groove Armada (DJ Set) and soul legend Jocelyn Brown with her full live band.
Taking place on Saturday 13th June 2026 on the iconic Hove Lawns, festival-goers can look forward to a sun-kissed day of music, dancing and pure feel-good energy as thousands come together to celebrate by the sea.
After a sold-out debut in 2025, Glorious Day returns bigger, brighter and bolder —blending world-renowned acts, local favourites, and Brighton’s unmistakable coastal charm.
Joining Groove Armada and Jocelyn Brown on the 2026 bill are Todd Terry, Fat Tony, Jon Pleased Wimmin, DJ Paulette, Norman Jay and Smudged Soul, with more artists still to be announced in the coming weeks.
Festival-goers can also enjoy gourmet street food vendors, glitter stalls, cocktails and more throughout the day — plus an upgraded VIP experience featuring golden circle access, exclusive VIP area, fast-track entry, private bar, posh loos and extra seating for those looking to celebrate in style.
Liam Hardy, Director at New Vision Events, said:
“There was something truly magical about seeing thousands of people dancing by the sea at our debut year on Hove Lawns — that energy was unmatched. For 2026, we’re taking things to another level. To have Groove Armada and Jocelyn Brown leading the lineup is a dream combination —their music embodies the spirit of what Glorious Day is all about: joy, connection, and that feel-good seaside energy that makes this event so special.”
Tickets start from £42.50 + BF, with general sale launching Friday 28th November at 10am.
