It’s been a good few years, but year after year, Cuffe & Taylor have brought some of the biggest names to the gorgeous backdrop of Lincoln Castle, nestled away in the bustling city.
Why Lincoln Castle? for one, it’s stunning, for those who don’t know, it was built by William the Conqueror in 1068 and has stood for hundreds of years as a symbol of power and seat of justice, and to this day its medieval walls dominate the city’s skyline.
Live at Lincoln Castle continues the medieval monuments rich history as an entertainment venue: from hosting medieval royalty to Victorian day-trippers, and now twenty-first century concert-goers.

This year is no different, they’re really tuning into the retro, the pop, the indie, the rock and everything inbetween!
Some of the supports are just as impressive, from rising DJ star Katie Owen joining legends Billy Ocean and Wet Wet Wet’s Marti Pellow, she’s the PERFECT support to get the crowd warmed up.

Katie Owen has quickly made her mark as one of the UKs most exciting musical talents.
From DJing at the 2022 World Cup to leading SportBible’s Women’s Euros coverage, Katie brings both pride and big-stage experience to every performance.
On the festival circuit, Katie has performed nationwide, supporting artists including Kasabian, Sam Fender, Rick Astley and Blossoms.
Elsewhere, The Midlands own Deco along with Wigan’s rising stars The Lottery Winners are supporting pop icon Rick Astley, who I’m sure for one night only, he will not let the people of Lincoln Castle down, run around or desert them (sorry, I’ll behave now!)
Brooke Coombe also joins the Lincoln Castle lineup, supporting Tom Grennan

Brooke Coombe has also been announced for supporting Tom Grennan on his show at the historical castle too!
Brooke has quickly established herself as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists, fusing classic soul influences with contemporary indie and deeply personal songwriting.
Since her breakout in 2023, she has played to sold-out crowds across the UK and supported major names including Lionel Richie, Paolo Nutini, Blossoms, Miles Kane and The Coral, as well as Tom Grennan himself.
She has also appeared on major US television shows including The Kelly Clarkson Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Plus, for you Pop-Punk fans, you definitely haven’t been forgotten, as one incredible addition to the lineup has been added…

Texan pop punk legends Bowling For Soup and folk punk royalty Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls are teaming up, with the two genre-defying musical powerhouses and long-time friends are joining forces for the first time ever for a run of dates across the country with their Bowl My Bones tour, including Live at Lincoln Castle.
One of rocks’ most unlikely friendships began years ago, sparked by Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick’s admiration for Frank Turner’s music.
In more recent years the two became good friends, even hosting a weekly live stream together during the COVID pandemic. Now, after years of fan requests, the tour they’ve been hoping for is finally happening.
Cuffe & Taylor promoter Mark Harrison said:
“We’re delighted to complete the headline announcements for our Summer 2026 line-up at Live At Lincoln Castle with Bowling For Soup and Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls.
There’s so much more going on though at the Castle, some are already sold-out, some aren’t, but it won’t be that way for long, take a look at the full list of gigs at Lincoln Castle 2026 below!
