Neon Festival has expanded its 2026 programme, adding nine new names to an already star-studded bill for 5th - 6th June, 2026 at Lade idrettspark in Norway. The beloved Trondheim weekender continues to cement its reputation as one of Scandinavia’s most vibrant pop and crossover events, blending global chart-toppers with leading Nordic talent across two high-energy summer days. Two day tickets are on sale now as anticipation builds for another sell-out edition.

Leading the fresh wave of additions are British hitmaker James Arthur and fast-rising Australian duo Royel Otis, bringing international flavour to the Norwegian stage. They are joined by hometown favourite Kjartan Lauritzen, alongside Peg Parnevik, Ruben, SA_G, Emily Hammer, Roya and emerging act Golf, broadening the festival’s contemporary pop, indie and urban credentials.

They join an impressive 2026 line-up already featuring Zara Larsson, Lewis Capaldi and Black Eyed Peas, alongside Veronica Maggio, Kamelen, Chris Abolade og Amara, Ballinciaga and more. The expanded bill reinforces Neon Festival’s position as a major player in the Nordic summer calendar, balancing global pop heavyweights with the region’s most exciting voices.

Set against the waterfront backdrop of Trondheim, Neon Festival 2026 promises another weekend of singalongs, dancefloor moments and sun-soaked Scandinavian atmosphere. With fresh international additions and strong local representation, the 5th - 6th June, 2026 edition is shaping up as one of the event’s most dynamic yet, offering international travellers and European fans alike a compelling reason to lock in early.
