The headliners for next year's Highways festival have been announced.
The country and Americana event will return to London's Royal Albert Hall in May for its fourth instalment, featuring Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce and Emmylou Harris headlining the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, respectively.
Baylen Leonard, host of Absolute Radio Country show The Front Porch, will return to host the main auditorium, which will also feature performances from Randall King, Kaitlin Butts, Jack Van Cleaf, Corey Kent, Clover County and Jim Lauderdale throughout the weekend.
Pardi said: "I am incredibly honored to have the opportunity to play Royal Albert Hall. London never disappoints and this show will be one for the books."
"There are certain venues around the world that are truly iconic, and one of them is the Royal Albert Hall" Pearce commented. "The UK has become such a special place for me to share my music, and I’m so excited to cross off a bucket list moment by headlining one of the most legendary stages in the world at Highways in 2026."
Harris shared: "The Royal Albert Hall is such a legendary venue. It holds a special place in my heart. I am thrilled to be returning to a stage that has hosted so many historic performances."
