Neighbourhood Weekender 2023: Line up announced - When is the festival, how to get tickets and presale

Tickets are set to go on sale for the Neighbourhood Weekender festival 2023 next week, after organisers announced the first wave of a star-studded line-up including Pulp, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott and The Kooks. Bringing together an incredible weekend of live music across three stages, the event is set to return to Victoria Park in Warrington in May 2023.

Pulp will headline Neighbourhood Weekender as part of their ‘What we do for an encore’ live dates. Lead singer Jarvis Cocker said: “Three months ago, we asked, what exactly do you do for an encore? Well, an encore happens when the crowd makes enough noise to bring the band back to the stage. So we are playing in the UK and Ireland in 2023. See you there.”

After a second consecutive UK number one album, legendary duo Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott will return to Victoria Park to close out the main stage on Saturday night. As members of The Beautiful South they topped the album charts on three occasions and, earlier this year, Paul Heaton was honoured at the prestigious Ivor Awards for his ‘Outstanding Song Collection’.

The Kooks will also perform on the main stage. Over the years, they have proven themselves as key pillars of the UK indie pop world, with their illustrious career launching with the release of their iconic debut studio album Inside In/Inside Out.

The quadruple-platinum selling album boasts hits including BRIT Award nominated ‘She Moves in Her Own Way’, ‘You Don’t Love Me’ and the band’s top five single ‘Naive’. They will be joined by indie stalwarts The Wombats, The Enemy and Ocean Colour Scene alongside festival favourites Jamie Webster, Everything Everything and The Big Moon.

Pop sensations Anne-Marie, Ella Henderson and Sugababes have also been announced, as have two of this year’s breakthrough artists, the Mercury-nominated Self Esteem and Australian dance duo Confidence Man. More acts are set to be announced later in the year.
