Zach Top, Keith Urban and Brooks & Dunn will be the three headliners for the 2026 edition of C2C: Country to Country.
The annual international country music fest, created by AEG Europe and SJM Concerts, takes place March 13-15 with the artists each headlining a show at London’s the O2, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro and Belfast’s SSE arenas over three consecutive nights.

Brooks & Dunn will launch in Belfast before playing in Glasgow and London, marking their first time headlining C2C and the legendary duo’s first U.K. appearance since 2010. They will be joined by Drake Milligan, Kameron Marlowe, Ashley Cooke and Mackenzie Carpenter.
More artists are set to be announced for all the bills.
Tickets will go on sale Friday (Sept. 26) at 10 a.m. local time.
C2C launched in 2013 at London’s O2 Arena, with appearances by Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood, and then expanded to Dublin (now Belfast) and Glasgow.
BBC Radio 2 is the broadcast partner for C2C, while the Country Music Association is a key festival partner. “CMA is proud to once again sponsor the Spotlight Stage at C2C,” Sarah Trahern, CMA CEO said in a statement. “Helping rising country artists take their music to international audiences and working alongside the industry that champions them worldwide remains central to our mission.” The CMA will also sponsor a songwriters series.
Starting in 2019, editions will launch in the Netherlands and Germany, which are held the week before the London/Belfast/Glasgow dates with some overlapping artists.
The 2026 Norwegian edition, to be held March 5-7 outside of Rotterdam, will feature Jordan Davis, Top, Milligan, Jackson Dean, Marlowe, Braden and Wyatt, among others. The Germany edition, to be held in Berlin March 6-8, will feature Davis, Top, McCreery, Milligan and Marlowe among others.
