Love to be… Festival Announces 2026 Plans With Ticket Launch

Following the second sell-out edition of Love to be’s flagship festival at The Stray in Harrogate in September, the legendary house music brand now reveals it will return on Saturday 5th September 2026 for another 11 hours of non-stop house music on the Yorkshire parkland. Pre-lineup / general entry and VIP tickets are on sale now priced from £53+bf and can be purchased via Skiddle.

Marc Dennis, Director and owner at Love to be, said “Seeing so many smiling faces and crowds having the best day reminded me why we do this.  We are so thankful to every artist, partner, volunteer and ticket holder who made 2025 so unforgettable. Work has already begun for next year where we’ll be looking to make the site even bigger and better, yet again.”

Reliving highlights from the 2025 event, Love to be saw a full capacity 6,000 crowd, redesigned main stage, extra production across three arenas and a new Ultra VIP area.

The lineup turned the dial up to eleven staging world-class talent across the site. From Gok Wan packing out the Music Factory Classics Big Top early doors and setting the party tone, to Ultra Nate dazzling the Main Stage in a sequin-studded bodysuit and delivering a euphoric rendition of ‘Free’, every moment was electric. 

K-Klass served a standout set and welcomed Bongo Dave for added Balearic flair, as did The Shapeshifters, Jon Pleased Wimmin, Juliet Roberts, Carly Wilford and Love to be founders Trimtone, while even more incredible talent rocked the VIP stage. Headline sets came from legends of the scene, Armand Van Helden and Marshall Jefferson, to end a day that united generations of house lovers and timeless grooves.

For festival goers wanting a look back at those special moments or for those wanting a glimpse of what’s to come, watch the aftermovie on Youtube.
