Play Music Festivals In 2026

A New Essential Resource for Independent Artists: The Music Festivals Spreadsheet 2026 by Asher One Two.

If you're an independent artist planning your 2026 festival run, there’s a new resource you should know about, and it might be one of the most useful tools you’ll use this year.

The UK Music Festivals List 2026 is a clear, organised spreadsheet featuring 183 festivals, including 50 that are still accepting applications

Each festival entry includes the application deadline, location, dates, genre focus, website, and most importantly, a direct link to the application form. No more endless Googling, outdated pages, or missed deadlines. Just a clean, accessible list built to help you apply quickly and strategically.

You can access the spreadsheet in exchange for an email here. It’s designed for this year’s applications, but the full list is extensive enough to be just as valuable for planning 2027.

The spreadsheet was created by independent artist Asher One Two, who builds tools like this alongside making deadpan indie pop with imaginative storytelling woven through it. This project is a great example of what modern independent artistry increasingly looks like: artists supporting artists, sharing knowledge, and building community through creativity and generosity.

If you're applying to festivals this year, or know someone who is, this resource is absolutely worth grabbing.
