C2C 2026 – The Ultimate Guide: Lineup, London Set Times, and Zach Top Preview

It is finally here! C2C 2026 kicks off in London this weekend, and we could not be more excited for the massive headlining trio of Zach Top, Keith Urban, and Brooks & Dunn. Zach is making his highly anticipated C2C headlining debut this Friday, and we know those of you attending are counting down the hours.

To get you geared up for his set, we are sharing a fantastic live session he recently recorded. Even though it comes from our friends over at Absolute Country, good music is good music, and this performance is simply too good to skip. Zach runs through stellar, stripped-down renditions of the toe-tapping “Bad Luck,” his massive breakout hit “I Never Lie,” and the incredibly smooth “South of Sanity.” It perfectly captures the pure, traditional country sound he is about to bring to the O2 arena.

Watch the full live session below and get yourself ready for an unforgettable Friday night!

C2C 2026 Festival Overview

Country to Country returns from March 13 to 15, 2026, bringing the genre’s top talent to the UK and Northern Ireland. The country festival rotates a blockbuster bill across three major venues: The O2 in London, The OVO Hydro in Glasgow, and The SSE Arena in Belfast.

Since its launch in 2013, C2C has grown into a major international platform for country music, presented in collaboration with the Country Music Association (CMA) and broadcast partner BBC Radio 2.

The 2026 Headliners

This year’s Main Stage lineup features a mix of classic icons and modern hitmakers.

• Zach Top: The reigning ACM New Male Artist of the Year makes his UK debut. Top brings a neo-traditional sound heavily inspired by 90s country legends like George Strait.
• Keith Urban: Returning to C2C for the first time in seven years, the global hitmaker brings his celebrated guitar skills and deep catalog of hits back to the UK stage.
• Brooks & Dunn: The Country Music Hall of Fame duo returns to the UK for the first time since 2010 to close out the weekend with their legendary catalog.

Headliner City Rotation

Because C2C is a multi-city event, the artists rotate between the three host cities each night. Here is where you can catch the headliners:

Date	London (O2 Arena)	Glasgow (OVO Hydro)	Belfast (SSE Arena)
Friday, March 13	Zach Top	Keith Urban	Brooks & Dunn
Saturday, March 14	Keith Urban	Brooks & Dunn	Zach Top
Sunday, March 15	Brooks & Dunn	Zach Top	Keith Urban
