20% off Psych Fest tickets for Observer subscribers
Psych Fest returns to venues across Brighton, Manchester and Edinburgh this year, with 20% off all tickets for Observer subscribers.
Brighton Psych Fest 2026 returns to venues across the city on Friday 4 September. Newly announced artists include critically acclaimed experimental quartet Mandy, Indiana, post-punk and electronic favourites The KVB, Texan psych-rockers Holy Wave and Portuguese genre-blurring trio Maquina.
Manchester Psych Fest reveals over 30 new acts for the 2026 festival, taking place on Saturday 5 September. The one-dayer features an enormous lineup, so enormous that it has been revealed that the Manchester Apollo will serve as the festival’s main stage, as the event edges towards a sell out.
Edinburgh Psych Fest will return on Sunday 6 September. They are delighted to announce the addition of 11 new acts to the psych and psych influenced one-dayer this September, including modern post-punk & alt-rock outfit Shame, the acerbic lo-fi-no-wave-synth-pop of Billy Nomates, punishing industrial post-punkers Mandy, Indiana and psychedelic dark-wave duo The KVB.
