Claptone to headline Harrogate’s Love To Be...Festival

Claptone has been announced as the headliner for Love To Be...Festival 2026. 

Returning to The Stray in Harrogate on Saturday 5th September 2026, Love To Be...Festival celebrates house music with thousands of music lovers and non-stop dancing from day to night.

Claptone headlines the festival's main stage, the Stray Stage, which will also see sets from Sam Divine, Paul Woolford, Julie McKnight (live), David Penn, and more. 

Todd Terry, Gok Wan, K-Klass (live), Tom Wainwright, and more will take to the festival's second stage, dubbed Music Factory.

Love To Be will also have a music stage where VIP ticketholders can see Tony Walker, Jet Boot Jack, and NRK & Nikki Belle (live).

Elsewhere across the festival site, there'll be street food, dancers, stilt walkers, fire breathers, and the feel-good vibes of the festival’s crowd. 

This year’s festival will be the brand’s third in Harrogate. Love To Be will also host its day-long Inner City Festival in Sheffield in May at Steel Yard. 

Hosting clubbing events since 1994, Love To Be got started in Sheffield before spreading across the north, then to other parts of the UK, before going international. Love To Be also launched its own record label in the ‘90s. The brand is now a beloved force in house music.
