Mint Festival 2026: Max Dean, Ewan McVicar and Obskür confirmed for the Leeds festival - announcement in full

Newsam Green Farm once again becomes a beacon of dance music as Mint Festival announces the latest wave of 2026 performers.

  • Mint Festival has revealed the latest set of names for their 2026 return to Newsam Green Farm.
  • Ewan McVicar, Max Dean, Obskür and Danny Bond are among the big names set to perform at next year’s event.
  • There’s also a huge Nexup takeover, while Rossi. is set to host his first-ever stage at a music festival.

After a complete sell-out in 2025 and a record-breaking surge of presale sign-ups, Mint Festival is officially set to open the summer festival season with one of its strongest line-ups to date.

The two-day event returns on May 2 and 3, nestled in the rolling green landscape of Newsam Green Farm, and has become known for pairing world-leading electronic names with a uniquely intimate, high-energy atmosphere.

Offering three distinct musical identities each day, moving seamlessly from bespoke industrial arenas to open-air orchards, the festival prides itself on providing a programme that blends established heavyweights with the most exciting names breaking through.

2026 is no exception to that rule either, with the latest wave of acts announced along with the final call for tickets going on sale before Christmas.

Rising record label Nexup takes over The Bunker, bringing high-energy tech-house with sets like the much-anticipated Gaskin b2b Sidney Charles, while in The Orchard, Rossi. hosts his first-ever festival stage with a focus on forward-thinking house and minimal, as Silva Bumpa curates a bass-heavy garage takeover in The Barn, featuring Bullet Tooth and Soul Mass Transit System.

Sunday brings two major highlights: the return of the legendary FUSE crew, who take command of The Bunker for the first time since 2021, featuring B2B sets all day, including Enzo Siragusa performing a back-to-back set with Dr Banana, with The Orchard set to be headlined by one of most in-demand artists, Ewan McVicar, alongside Obskür and Luuk Van Dijk.

Closing out the weekend, Unfussy returns to The Barn, providing a genre-blending selection that captures the ethos of fun, forward-thinking club music.
