Second headliner confirmed for Bootle's Music Weekender festival
The second major act has been confirmed for Bootle’s popular Music Weekender.
Launching for the first time in the summer of 2023, Bootle’s annual music festival is fast becoming a standout date on the UK calendar, with huge performances from music legends.
The first staging of the event saw the new Salt & Tar venue nominated for two UK Festival Awards, with Sir Tom Jones then taking to the stage in 2024 and Billy Ocean and Sugababes headlining this summer.
Due to updates to the site, the 2026 festival is relocating to neighbours Lock & Quay, with the first major act confirmed as The Waterboys earlier this month.
Now, the second headliner has been revealed as The Saw Doctors. The Irish folk-rock band will take to the stage on Saturday, August 19.
Pre-sale tickets will be available from Thursday (November 20) at 10.00am. Tickets for The Waterboys are available now.
