Bristol’s signature three-day summer party series returns to the Harbourside in 2026 with a HUGE announcement. Following a reunion run of festival headliners, including Glastonbury and All Points East, Siren welcomes the return of The Maccabees.
It will be The Maccabees’ first Bristol performance since reuniting, and one of only five UK outdoor shows next summer. The beloved indie band is set to deliver an emotional performance—with cult anthems like Pelican, Precious Time, Love You Better, and Spit It Out—on Thursday, July 23, 2026.
“The year we’ve just had was so special to all of us, and so unexpected, that it has put some momentum in everyone collectively… and who wouldn’t want to do all that again,” said Guitarist Felix White. Expect a set list made up from their Mercury Prize-nominated Given to the Wild and #1 album Marks To Prove It, alongside early favourites from Colour It In.
Siren co-founder Tom Hoyle said: “We’re buzzing to have The Maccabees kick things off for Siren 2026. Their return has been such a moment and having them play on the Harbourside in the middle of summer, it’s going to be proper feel-good from start to finish. One of those shows you’ll be talking about all year.”
