First wave of acts announced for Deva Fest 2026

Deva​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Fest, the North West’s much-loved family-friendly festival, has revealed the first wave of acts for its highly anticipated 2026 edition. It is turning six years old this summer and the festival is already making a lot of noise with the very first line up being full of life and all the good vibes of a classic summer festival will be there for the fans to enjoy.

It has been possible to confirm two out of the three headliners. Irish pop legend Ronan Keating and chart-topping superstar Jessie J will headline across the weekend, delivering what is set to be an unforgettable celebration of live music and family-friendly fun.

Ronan Keating will perform solo on the Saturday 8 August after the band he shared the mic with for 20 years, Boyzone. In fact, Keating has sold more than 25 million records with Boyzone and has been very successful in his solo career since it began in 2000. The artist has so far released ten albums of which the best known is the When You Say Nothing at All single—coming from the Notting Hill soundtrack—charting number one in various countries.

Jessie J, with her burst of power vocals, energetic show and extreme likability, will be the one to bring the festival to an end on the main stage at the 9 August, Sunday. The UK’s one of the most progressive pop artists, Jessie J, is known for her catchy chart hits and tremendous fan-pleasing live shows and that’s why she is the best act to end with a bang Deva Fest 2026.

Besides headliners, there’s more to look forward to for the festivalgoers and these are the performances of: Symphonic Ibiza, Vengaboys, Gok Wan, The Christians, N-Trance, etc. plus a bunch of other artist announcements.

Deva Fest 2026 will be just perfect with its innovative blend of the major live music, family entertainment and festival fun. The event is becoming the really biggest of the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌summer.
