Love to be… Festival Announces 2026 Return
Legendary house music brand, Love to be… returned to The Stray in Harrogate on Saturday 6th September 2025 with its second sell out festival. With a full capacity 6,000 crowd, redesigned main stage, extra production across three arenas and a new Ultra VIP area, organisers now reveal the festival will return in 2026 for another 11 hours of non-stop house music on the Harrogate parkland.
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.”
Love to be… will return to The Stray in Harrogate on Saturday 4th September 2026. Priority tickets are on sale now to everyone who attended this year. For everyone else wanting to be part of the 2026 house music celebration, sign up is now open for pre-sale tickets at https://www.lovetobeevents.co.uk/festival, ahead of the pre-sale date at 9am on Tuesday 30th September, while full release tickets land on 1st October.
Reliving highlights from last weekend, Love to be… turned the dial up to eleven staging world-class talent across the site. From Gok Wan packing out the Music Factory Classics Big Top early doors and setting the party tone, to Ultra Nate dazzling the Main Stage in a sequin-studded bodysuit and delivering a euphoric rendition of ‘Free’, every moment was electric.
K-Klass served a standout set and welcomed Bongo Dave for added Balearic flair, as did The Shapeshifters, Jon Pleased Wimmin, Juliet Roberts, Carly Wilford and Love to be founders Trimtone, while even more incredible talent rocked the VIP stage. 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.
