Discovery Festival 2026 is almost here, with thousands of music fans set to descend on Central Park from 12–14 June for Plymouth’s biggest weekend of live music.
The iconic headline line-up includes pop superstars Five, indie rock icons The Libertines and 80s legends Level 42.
They are supported across the three days by world-class artists including OMD, Blue, and Feeder.
With a career spanning over 25 years, boyband sensation Five are known for energetic feel-good hits including Keep On Movin’, Everybody Get Up and If Ya Gettin’ Down.
Following their much-anticipated comeback tour, they are set to deliver a singalong-packed performance on Friday 12 June, featuring all the crowd-pleasing classics and choreography fans love.
The band said: “Headlining Friday in Plymouth feels incredible for us. Having last performed in Plymouth in 2013 we can’t wait to see you all again.
“The love we’ve felt on this comeback tour has been overwhelming and reminded us just how special our fans are. We can’t wait to bring that energy to Discovery Festival and open the weekend in style.”
Then, on Saturday June 13 it’s time to dig out your leg warmers and neon accessories for ‘80s Calling! which is going to be more feel-good and fun than ever.
Amazing artists include jazz funk powerhouses Level 42, synth pop duo Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) and pop legend Kim Wilde.
Level 42’s slick musicianship and infectious grooves made them one of the UK’s biggest acts of the decade. With hits like Lessons in Love, Something About You and Running in the Family, they’re renowned for their tight live performances and feel-good energy. Fans can expect a show full of punchy basslines, soaring melodies and all the hits that shaped a generation.
Adding even more 80s magic, chart-topping icon Nik Kershaw, smooth-pop favourites Johnny Hates Jazz and new wave legends Altered Images promise non-stop nostalgia and sing along moments to complete the day.
Rounding off an epic weekend of festival magic, on Sunday June 14, are indie rock legends The Libertines who have cemented their status as one of the most influential bands of their generation.
Fans can expect a set packed with classics such as Don’t Look Back Into the Sun and Can’t Stand Me Now.
They will be joined on the final day by rock stalwarts Feeder, indie favourites Maximo Park and rising punk-rock force Kid Kapichi.
Liz Hobbs MBE, CEO of Discovery Festival Ltd, said: “We’re over the moon to be returning to Plymouth this summer after a few years away. We’re delighted to bring Discovery Festival back to this wonderful city.”
“It is an incredible line-up, and we have no doubt these world-class bands will have festival-goers dancing, cheering, and singing every anthem loud and proud. There is truly something for everyone.”
