With 2026’s headliners including a host of massive stars and icons such as David Byrne, Gary Numan, James Taylor and Tom Jones, a high bar has been set.
Co-promoters Cuffe and Taylor and The Piece Hall have been known to start announcing the following year’s acts just a few weeks after the end of each season’s concerts finish.
We asked Courier readers who they would like to see perform at the historic venue and we were inundated with responses.
Hundreds of people gave their suggestions, with some making requests for acts who have already played at The Piece Hall to return.
Here, in no particular order, we’ve listed a selection of the most popular.
Keep an eye on the Courier website for all the latest Piece Hall gig news.
