Glorious Day Festival returns to Brighton in 2026 with Groove Armada & Jocelyn Brown

Glorious Day Festival is set to bring sunshine energy and soul back to Hove Lawns on Saturday 13th June 2026, with Groove Armada (DJ Set) and the legendary Jocelyn Brown leading a heavyweight lineup of house, disco, funk and soul favourites.

After a sold-out debut in 2025, the boutique festival is returning bigger and brighter for its second year, blending world-renowned artists, local heroes and that unmistakable coastal charm. Festival-goers can expect a day packed with uplifting tunes, beachside dancing and pure summer euphoria as thousands come together on the seafront.

Joining the headliners for 2026 are house pioneer Todd Terry, scene icon Fat Tony, the ever-charismatic Jon Pleased Wimmin, Manchester trailblazer DJ Paulette, Good Times legend Norman Jay MBE, and rising star Smudged Soul, with even more acts still to come.

Alongside the music, the festival will host gourmet street food, glitter stalls, cocktail bars and plenty of summery extras. Those looking to upgrade can opt for the enhanced VIP experience, which includes golden-circle access, a private bar, fast-track entry, posh loos, an exclusive VIP area and extra seating.

Festival Director Liam Hardy said:

“Seeing thousands of people dancing by the sea at our debut year was magical. For 2026, we’re taking things to another level. Groove Armada and Jocelyn Brown are the perfect combination. Their music embodies the joy and connection that Glorious Day is all about.”
