Sunday 12th July 2026
Words:Press
In the Park Newcastle has just announced an addition to its 2026 line-up, with fast-rising Irish band Cliffords joining Wolf Alice’s headline show at Exhibition Park on Sunday 12th July, alongside previously announced support Keo.
Hailing from Cork and fronted by Iona Lynch, Cliffords are rapidly emerging as one of alternative music’s most exciting new names, earning acclaim for their melody-rich songwriting, shoegaze textures and emotionally charged sound. Fresh from the release of their second EP Salt of the Lee, they join a standout bill led by one of Britain’s most influential bands, Brit Award winners Wolf Alice.
Renowned for their electrifying live performances and powerful coming-of-age anthems, Wolf Alice will close out the summer concert series in style, joined by fellow alternative rock four-piece Keo and newly announced support Cliffords.
Returning bigger than ever, In the Park 2026 has cemented itself as one of the North Easts premier live music events, bringing world-class talent to the heart of Newcastle for a truly landmark summer event. Taking over Exhibition Park from Wednesday 8th through to Sunday 12th July, this year's edition features performances from the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Paul Weller, Wolf Alice, Miles Kane, Maximo Park, Leazes, Amelia Colburn, Jacob Alon & Heidi Curtis.
