After a seven-year hiatus, the iconic Lovebox Festival is officially back—this time with a seaside twist. Now reimagined as Lovebox Presented By Dreamland, the beloved event will take over Dreamland in Margate on 29th and 30th May, 2026. Marking its grand return to the UK festival calendar, the lineup is already packed with legends and dancefloor heroes.

Rudimental will headline the Friday night with an explosive live set, while the inimitable Scissor Sisters will top Saturday’s bill in their only UK festival performance of the year so far. Joining them across the weekend are a stellar mix of DJs, vocalists and genre pioneers including Armand Van Helden, Groove Armada (DJ Set), Girls Don’t Sync, DJ EZ, and Friendly Fires. Fans can also expect a live performance from Soul II Soul, plus sets from Jayda G, Mike Skinner (DJ), David Rodigan, and Dan Shake.

The Friday lineup leans heavily into club classics and carnival energy, with Goldie B2B Special Request, Emily Rawson (Supa Dupa Fly), and 4AM KRU also in the mix. Sunday will bring a more disco-fuelled flavour, featuring Horse Meat Disco, Dance Dance Dance, Huns N’ Roses and more across Dreamland’s unique indoor and outdoor spaces.

Originally launched in London in 2002, Lovebox ran for 18 years before holding its final edition at Gunnersbury Park in 2019. Its 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID-19, and despite rumours of a comeback, it remained dormant—until now. Tickets for the 2026 edition go on general sale from 12pm on Friday, 28th November, with more acts still to be announced.
