Float Along Festival is Sheffield’s premier inner-city multi-venue festival, returning on Saturday 26th September 2026 for its fifth year. Float Along transforms the city centre into a vibrant hub for post-punk, psychedelic rock, and indie talent.

Headlining this year's festival is White Lies, whose anthemic, atmospheric sound has made them one of Britain’s most enduring indie acts. With a catalogue spanning more than a decade, their addition marks a landmark moment for the festival’s 2026 edition. They are joined by blistering Dublin-based band Sprints, the ever-eccentric Opus Kink, who fuse theatrical flair with wiry, off-kilter grooves, and Man/Woman/Chainsaw, fast-emerging as one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming bands on the scene today. Also announced are Your Mate’s Ex, Oslo Twins, Spanish Horses, Maximilian Tanner, and Faint Paint, with many more still to come.
