SUNDAY HEADLINER // DOSS

We're proud to announce DOSS as our Sunday headliner for SHUNKFEST 2026.

Fresh from a tour of France, the Glasgow four-piece have been making serious noise with their high-energy live shows and are quickly becoming one of the UK's most exciting new bands.

This September they'll make their first ever appearance in Wales – and we're delighted it'll be at SHUNKFEST.

If you're into discovering bands before they break, don't miss this one.

SATURDAY HEADLINER // THE FAMILY BATTENBERG

After last year's set where the tent very nearly took off, there was no way we weren't bringing them back.
We're delighted to announce The Family Battenberg as our Saturday headliner for SHUNKFEST 2026.

Hailing from Cardiff, this four-piece have built a reputation as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Welsh grassroots scene. Blending garage rock, psychedelia and a DIY attitude, they've carved out a sound that's entirely their own, earning a growing following with explosive live shows and relentless touring.

If you caught them last year, you'll know exactly what they're about. If you didn't, expect huge energy and one of the most talked-about live bands in Wales right now.

Saturday 5th September. Afan Ales. SHUNKFEST 2026.

Weekend tickets are on sale now.

Last year they nearly took the tent with them... let's see what happens this time.

FRIDAY HEADLINER // Trampolene

After their unbelievable secret set that practically shut Station Road down, there was only one thing we could do... bring them back.

We're absolutely buzzing to announce Trampolene as our first SHUNKFEST 2026 headliner.

Formed in Swansea before taking on stages across the UK and Europe, Trampolene have become one of Wales' biggest independent success stories. With two Official Independent Chart No.1 albums, sold-out shows at Swansea Arena and London's Scala, and tours alongside Liam Gallagher, The Libertines, Babyshambles, Ocean Colour Scene and PiL, they're a band that have earned every bit of their reputation.
If you were there for the secret set, you'll know exactly why we're so excited. If you missed it, now's your chance.

Friday 4th September. Afan Ales & Fine Wines . SHUNKFEST 2026.

Weekend tickets are on sale now. The first headliner is here... and there's plenty more to come.
