Love Saves the Day 2026

Known for bringing some of the most exciting DJs and live performers from across the country each year, Love Saves The Day is back, on the bank holiday weekend of 23rd and 24th May 2026 at Ashton Court. Kicking off the festival season in style, with a line-up that’s bold and high-energy, LSTD 2026 is shaping up to be one of its most forward-facing editions yet.

Love Saves The Day is different to any other festival. It is an accumulation of years and years spent in clubs, in fields, at festivals, on dancefloors, and in front of stages across the United Kingdom and beyond. Essentially, the team behind Love Saves the Day know exactly what it takes to make an event a success. They know what festival goers want, and what they don’t. It's this understanding and knowledge that has paid dividends in organizing a fantastic and memorable festival experience.

Love Saves The Day 2026

Among the headline names is Sammy Virji - whose genre-hopping sets have taken him from underground favourite to global festival closer – who  will deliver a high-energy finale on Sunday night. Rizzle Kicks, reuniting to bring their signature bounce and charisma to the main stage, will also perform on Sunday 24 May. Meanwhile on Saturday, Sub Focus, one of the most recognisable names in UK drum & bass, returns to the LSTD stage with an all-new audiovisual live experience.

Also confirmed: the no-holds-barred DJ set from Confidence Man, Girls Don’t Sync and Hamdi, fresh from a standout year fusing dubstep, garage and grime, brings his explosive hybrid sound to Ashton Court. Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn, will also join the party, delivering a signature sound that’s as authentic as it is massively streamed.

From the underground up, LSTD 2026 continues to champion forward-thinking electronic music. House and techno heads are covered by the likes of Max Dean, Enzo Siragusa, Reeshy and Laidlaw, while 4AM Kru deliver a full live jungle set packed with nostalgia and new-school energy. Basslayerz return with heavyweight D&B, and Born on Road, Dubkasm, DJ Die, Clipz, Dazee, and Gorgon Sound all represent the best of Bristol’s bass heritage.
