Stendhal Festival takes over Ballymully Cottage Farm this July and the festival organisers have pulled back the current on the initial line-up. Taking place from Thursday 2nd to Saturday 4th July, the festival will showcase the finest local, national and international talent.
The Friday night headliners are the Tumbling Paddies who blend together traditional, country and rock music to create a party atmosphere performance every time they take to the stage.
On the Saturday night, it is all about Brit pop with Cast headlining the Limavady festival after a whirlwind year supporting Oasis on their re-union tour.
On the local front, it is a stacked bill with Chalk and Huartan taking prominent positions. Also on the line-up are Alana Henderson, Matt Benson, Fya Fox, Beauty Sleep, Sophie French, Susi Pagel, :Panic :Over and Aine Gordon.
Festival Director Ross Parkhill said: “We are really happy with how the first part of the line-up has come together for 2026. As usual we have loads of acts at different levels, from different genres and different places, who we believe will come together to provide an epic soundtrack to Stendhal this July.”
Ross added: “It remains an incredibly difficult time for everyone in the Independent festival sector and as it looks like we are going to be living in an uncertain world for a while now in terms of cost of living. We have tried to put together, not only as varied a line-up as possible, but one that ensures that anyone who buys a Stendhal ticket will get the best value for money festival possible.
