Forever A Phase have officially announced the return of Palooza for 2026, with the community-driven day festival coming back bigger and louder this year. We’ll also be part of it, joining as an official sponsor.
What started as an online movement through Forever A Phase has grown into a real-life home for new music, and Palooza has quickly become a key date for fans of pop punk, alternative and underground across the UK. It’s all about discovering your next favourite band and being in a room full of people who care about the scene as much as you do.
This year keeps that same energy, with a full day built around rising artists and the bands you’re about to have on repeat.
One of the biggest things this year is accessibility. Tickets are set as pay what you can, making it easier for anyone to be part of it without the usual barriers.
For us, this one means a lot. Reckless started in the exact same place, putting on gigs and day fests and backing bands at grassroots level. Seeing what Sam and Forever A Phase have built hasn’t gone unnoticed, and getting involved in Palooza ’26 felt like a no-brainer.
The full lineup will be announced on April 10, with fans encouraged to follow Forever A Phase closely for clues in the lead up.
Palooza ’26 is also backed by Sam TT Media and Forgotten Sons Apparel, showing just how much the community around this has grown.
Tickets are available now, and this is one you’ll want to be at.
