Rochdale Feel Good Festival returns on Saturday 8 August 2026 with a stellar line-up in Rochdale Town Hall Square.
Headlining this year is BRIT Award-winning pop-soul star Gabrielle, bringing her biggest hits including Rise, Out of Reach and Dreams. She’ll be joined by indie favourites Ash and Starsailor.
Newly announced for the main stage are funk and soul pioneers The Allergies, known for their high-energy live shows and infectious blend of hip-hop beats and deep funk, and rising Manchester indie artist Alex Spencer, one of the UK’s most exciting new voices, fresh from a sold-out 2026 headline tour and growing national acclaim. More acts are still to be revealed.
Alongside the main stage, the festival will feature live music across indoor venues, plus a food and drink village and a range of entertainment.
Early bird and phase 2 tickets have sold out, but discounted tickets (£30 + booking fee) are available now, along with VIP upgrade packages.
Bonus event: On Friday 7 August, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) headline a special show with Peter Hook & The Light and A Certain Ratio.
To cut single use plastic, all tickets include a re-usable drink cup to be collected upon arrival at the festival site.
Performances will be British Sign Language (BSL) interpreted.
