Love to be… Festival announces 2026 date.
Following the second sell-out edition of Love to be’s flagship festival at The Stray in Harrogate in September, the house music brand has said it will return on Saturday 5 September 2026 for another 11 hours of non-stop house.
Marc Dennis, Director and owner at Love to be… said:
Seeing so many smiling faces and crowds having the best day reminded me why we do this. We are so thankful to every artist, partner, volunteer and ticket holder who made 2025 so unforgettable.
Work has already begun for next year where we’ll be looking to make the site even bigger and better, yet again.
The 2025 event saw a capacity 6,000 crowd with a redesigned main stage and extra production over three arenas.
It featured Gok Wan packing out the Music Factory Classics Big Top early doors and setting the party tone, to Ultra Nate on the Main Stage in a sequin-studded bodysuit and delivering a euphoric rendition of ‘Free’.
K-Klass served a standout set with Bongo Dave for added Balearic flair, as did The Shapeshifters, Jon Pleased Wimmin, Juliet Roberts, Carly Wilford.
Headline sets came from legends of the scene, Armand Van Helden and Marshall Jefferson, to end a day that united generations of house lovers and timeless grooves.
