Crow Fest 2026: Dundee rock festival to return for third year with acts announced

Crow Fest is gearing up for its biggest year yet as the Dundee rock festival confirms it will return for a third edition in 2026, bringing a packed line up of bands to Club 83.

The event, taking place on Saturday 14 November, will open its doors at 3pm and is once again sponsored by Scotland Rocks Radio and Rockers Through The Ages.

The festival promises a full day of live music, energy and noise, with organisers unveiling the full line up in one go.

Fans can expect a mix of returning favourites, rising names and headline acts that have been making waves across the UK and beyond.

Meet the line-up

Kicking off the event is Atomic Mother, the hard hitting Aberdeen rockers who recently impressed during Scotland Rocks Radio’s Live and Louder Sessions at Edinburgh’s Banshee Labyrinth.

Their performance made such an impact that organisers booked them immediately, eager to bring their fast growing reputation to Dundee before it explodes further.

They will be followed by Voodoo Pilots, a band well known to Crow Fest regulars. After missing the 2025 edition, they are back with their signature funk rock sound that promises to get the room moving from the first note. Their groove filled set is expected to be one of the most dance heavy moments of the day.

Next up is Head Creep, a band known for raw riffs, thunderous drumming and razor sharp vocals that deliver an intense punch.

Fans can also look forward to the return of Bad Actress, the Inverness rockers whose big hair and bigger stage presence won over last year’s crowd at short notice. Their appearance in 2026 marks their originally intended return to the festival.

Local favourites Alabama Crow, the Dundee based four piece behind the festival itself, will once again take to the stage.

Fresh from a busy run of shows across the UK in 2025, the band brings a blend of styles and crowd pleasing riffs that have become central to Crow Fest’s identity.

The line up continues with Molly Karloff, a band making a strong impact on the festival circuit in the south of England.

Their high energy performances and standout live presence made them an easy addition for organisers keen to bring their dynamic show to Dundee audiences.

One of the most anticipated appearances comes from The Soul Revival, a band festival organisers have hoped to secure since the very first Crow Fest.

After years of schedules not aligning, 2026 marks their debut, with organisers promising a performance that will be well worth the wait.

Closing out the night as headliners is Juliet’s Not Dead, an internationally active band who have spent the past year touring across multiple countries.

Their music has earned them a passionate following, and organisers say their nostalgic, high octane sound captures the spirit of youthful freedom. Their headline slot is expected to end the festival on a high.
