GUN and seven more acts added to Winter's End 2026 line-up

The Planet Rock presents Winter’s End 2026 line-up has expanded once again with the addition of eight more acts.

The ninth iteration of Winter's End takes place at Trecco Bay Holiday Park in Porthcawl, South Wales on the weekend of Thursday 29th January to Sunday 1st February 2026.

Joining previously confirmed bill-toppers Orianthi and Tyketto are Scottish rock heroes GUN, who headline Winter’s End on the Friday night.

No strangers to Trecco Bay having previously triumphed at both Planet Rockstock and Winter’s End, GUN are always a formidable force in the live arena and their headlining slot at Winter’s End 2026 will be no exception.

Also joining the Winter’s End line-up today are Birmingham metallers Fury, fast-ascending rocker Lucie Sue in what will be her UK live debut, and sublime alt-rockers Black Lakes.

Completing the announcement are fedora-wearing blues rocker Jack J Hutchinson, Northern Irish purveyors of blistering hard rock Saffron Gorman & The Black Eagle Band, Cambridge hard-hitting quartet The Hot One Two, and classic rock purists Ransom.

Other artists already on the Winter’s End line-up include Tailgunner, The Damn Truth, These Wicked Rivers, PREYRS, Preacher Stone, Seven Sisters and the previously announced headliners Orianthi and Tyketto.

Winter’s End just got bigger:

For the first time ever, there will be a Winter’s End Warm-up night on the Thursday (29th January) featuring three bands on the main stage. Details on how to attend below!
