The North East’s longest running multi-venue music festival just released the first wave of acts to grace their stages on the 4th of April 2026! Stockton Calling is once again making musical dreams come true for us music-enthusiasts.
Running across seven venues within Stockton town centre, the festival features over 50 local and touring artists, and attracts around 2.000 music fans to the town for the day. Irish quintet GURRIERS take the top spot in 2026 and will be performing at The Georgian Theatre, with THE MOLOTOVS headlining The Social Room, one of my favourite venues, Raucous rock, sharp punk rock and grand stage shows join indie rockers HARD-FI on the line-up, they’ll be headlining ARC.
Adding to an already massive bill, the festival adds names such as Alex Spencer, Alice Street, End Credits, Middle Management, Pit Pony, personal favourites Soapbox, and Vona Vella to their first line-up announcement. More will be announced in the new year, but if the above hasn’t sold you yet you should truly go and listen to these bands again because there’s reason enough already to get your tickets for Stockton Calling 2026 if not purely for the wonderful and welcoming atmosphere!
