Love to be… returns to Harrogate on Saturday 5th September with a redesigned festival site and a host of new features for 2026.
Following last year’s sold out event, the flagship house music festival has reworked its layout to improve the experience for its 6,000 strong crowd. The refreshed site introduces a bigger main stage, a new chillout zone, an upgraded VIP area and several new attractions.
The main stage has been rebuilt with a larger structure and an increased 3,000 capacity. Upgraded sound and production will also deliver a more powerful experience throughout the day.
Festival organisers have redesigned the overall site layout to improve crowd flow. Visitors will benefit from more space between stages and clearer routes across the festival.
A brand new chillout zone also joins the site for 2026. The area offers bean bags, soft lighting and covered seating for those looking to take a break between sets.
One of the biggest additions is the Glam Van from local business The Hair & Makeup Project. The luxury beauty space offers festival braids, biodegradable glitter, makeup, hair styling and face painting.
The Glam Van also features professional styling stations, statement lighting and a 360 degree video booth with party props. It aims to make getting ready part of the festival experience.
VIP ticket holders will also enjoy a completely redesigned area in a new location. The upgraded space includes a VIP garden, expanded seating, interactive games and a premium bar.
The VIP stage, hosted by funkylove, will feature exclusive DJ sets and live performances throughout the day. Guests will also have access to a complimentary pamper room stocked with glitter and beauty products. A roaming magician will provide entertainment across the VIP area.
Love to be… has also replaced its previous wristband system with traditional contactless bar service. The change aims to speed up transactions and reduce queues across the festival.
The food village has expanded with more traders than ever before. Festivalgoers will also find a permanent jewellery stall, festival clothing traders, a coffee van and the official Love to be… merchandise stand.
The festival improvements arrive alongside another heavyweight lineup. Claptone, Paul Woolford, Sam Divine, Todd Terry, David Penn, Mousse T, Julie McKnight Live, Gok Wan, Grant Nelson, K Klass Live, DJ Cash Only, Janika Tenn, Trimtone, Paul Taylor, Tom Wainwright and many more will perform across three stages.
Since launching in Sheffield in 1994, Love to be… has grown into one of the UK’s best known house music brands. The brand now spans festivals, club events, a record label and a syndicated radio show.
Tickets for Love to be… Festival 2026 cost from £51.50 plus booking fee. Limited allocations are available from Skiddle.
