Celebrating its fifth year in Sheffield from Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th August 2027, Rock N Roll Circus has carved out a distinctive place in the UK’s festival calendar, combining major live music performances with spectacular circus entertainment in a setting unlike any traditional outdoor concert.
Ali O’Reilly, Festival Director of Rock N Roll Circus, said: “Anyone who saw Courteeners at Tramlines last year knows exactly what Sheffield means to this band. They absolutely blew the doors off the place, and there’s something about the connection between Liam and a Sheffield crowd that makes every show feel like a homecoming.
“To have The Vaccines and The Lathums joining them is a huge statement, but we’re just as excited about the artists coming through on Stage 2. Bands like Cherryholt, Cowboy Hunters and Ist Ist are exactly why we love putting these line-ups together. There’s something brilliant about watching a new band in an intimate setting and then heading into the Big Top for one of the biggest acts in the country.
“2027 marks our fifth year in Sheffield, which is a real milestone for us. We’ve grown with the city, the audiences have been incredible and we’re proud of what Rock N Roll Circus has become.
“And this is just the start. We’ve still got three more headliners and plenty of surprises to come. Sheffield, we’re going to make this one count.”
