CEREMONY 6 – LINE UP CONFIRMED
You’ve waited long enough! We can confirm that your Ceremony 6 headliners will be the mighty DEADLETTER returning to the venue in support of their eagerly anticipated second album ‘Existence is Bliss’, we are overjoyed to welcome back our absolute favourite saxophone wielding post-punk provocateurs, who will be bringing their end of tour party to Bedford Esquires on the 6th June 2026.
A party wouldn’t be a party without Home Counties, who will be unleashing twitchy synths and LCD Soundsystem rhythms on the main stage. Currently on tour with Franz Ferdinand and last seen transforming the Rockaway Beach festival into an all night disco, their live show is brilliantly energetic and engaging.
If we had a pound for every time someone told us we needed to bring Belfast’s MAKESHIFT ART BAR to Ceremony Festival, we’d all have pockets full of cash. Noisy, provocative and intense, they will be appearing at Esquires for the very first time. You spoke, we listened.
London’s LITTLE GRANDAD may not have released a single yet, but they have quickly become of the most talked about bands of 2026 thanks to word of mouth, the patronage of Steve Lamacq and a live show which sounds like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young if they’d all met at the Brixton Windmill. We can’t wait for you to hear them.
Also appearing across the day will be the hotly tipped Brighton band Lemonsuckr.wav, who have already sold out venues such as the Lexington and been compared to the likes of Fat Dog, whilst chaotic electronic rock siblings DISGUSTING SISTERS will be bringing their emotionally charged David Lynch inspired bangers to Room 2. And it wouldn’t be Ceremony Festival without ENJOYABLE LISTENS orchestrating the opening ceremony.
Full Line up – DEADLETTER / HOME COUNTIES / MAKESHIFT ART BAR / LEMONSUCKR / LITTLE GRANDAD / DISGUSTING SISTERS / TANZANA / YOUR MATES EX / TEETHIN’ / BUGBEAR / CANNED PINEAPPLE / ENJOYABLE LISTENS / AND MORE TBC…
With twelve of the hottest new bands on the line up, possibly one or two more acts to be added and 70% of tickets already snapped up advance, booking early is essential. Tickets are available from Seetickets and from Slide Records / Esquires bar (with no booking fees).
In association with Arts Council England a very limited number of tickets are also now available for just £10 to anyone on a low income or struggling with increases in the cost of living. These ‘Art is for Everyone’ tickets are also available to anyone under the age of 25, regardless of their financial situation.
