Depot In The Castle 2026 Lineup - The Wombats, Sugababes + More

Depot in the Castle returns to the iconic grounds of Cardiff Castle on Saturday 25 July 2026 for a huge all-day celebration of live music, street food and entertainment – with The Wombats confirmed as headliners and Sugababes announced as special guests.

One of Wales’ best-loved family-friendly festivals, Depot in the Castle brings together major headline acts, rising talent and a buzzing summer festival atmosphere right in the heart of the city.

Fresh from the release of their sixth studio album Oh! The Ocean, The Wombats remain one of the UK’s most enduring indie bands, known for era-defining anthems including Let’s Dance to Joy Division, Greek Tragedy and Moving to New York. Expect a huge sing-along set to close out the day.

Joining them are pop icons Sugababes, bringing their unmistakable vocals and a catalogue packed with hits such as Overload, Round Round, Freak Like Me and Push The Button. Following their biggest UK arena tour to date, they arrive in Cardiff at the peak of their powers.

The full line-up also features:

Red Rum Club – delivering their trademark mariachi-tinged indie rock

Ben Ellis – a fast-rising Cardiff talent

Afro Cluster – bringing high-energy Afrobeat and funk

The Family Battenberg – known for their energetic live shows

Alongside the music, expect local street food traders, family-friendly activities and a vibrant festival atmosphere throughout the day.

Following last year’s sold-out edition headlined by Jess Glynne, Depot in the Castle 2026 is shaping up to be one of the standout events of the summer.
