TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall co-promoters The Piece Hall Trust and Cuffe and Taylor have confirmed plans for next year’s series are well underway – with the first 2027 headliner set to be announced as early as next week.

Nicky Chance-Thompson MBE DL FRSA, CEO of The Piece Hall Charitable Trust, said: “What a phenomenal achievement - 42 amazing shows, featuring world class artists bringing new visitors to the region and boosting the local economy.

"2026 has firmly cemented our reputation as a globally renowned venue and I’m beyond proud of every single person who’s made this happen, from the events and production crews, security teams and cleaners to our in-house staff and brilliant volunteers.

“My deepest thanks to our co-promoters Cuffe and Taylor, everyone who bought a ticket to join us for a magical night in our unique courtyard, and to all the outstanding artists who put their trust in us.

"This season has proved beyond doubt this unique heritage site and local powerhouse has the appeal to attract the biggest stars on the planet, with all the benefits that brings to Calderdale and beyond.”

Peter Taylor, co-founder of Cuffe and Taylor who have programmed shows at the venue since 2022, said the aim was to make 2027 another sensational year at The Piece Hall.

He said: “What a summer! We knew going into the first sold-out show of the year with Shed Seven back on June 6 that this was going to be an incredible 2026 series – and it has truly delivered!

"42 unforgettable nights, welcoming 225,000 gig goers here to this stunning and historic venue, memories that will last a lifetime – it really does not get any better.

“The feedback we have had from artists, their teams and fans, many of whom travelled from around the world to be here, has been amazing. It is further confirmation The Piece Hall has really become a ‘must play’ venue for the world’s biggest artists who are now beating a path to do a show here.

“The challenge when you reach the end of such a sensational and successful season is ‘how do you top that?’ But we are delighted to reveal we are well on the way with our plans for next year and we cannot wait to start announcing the first of the 2027 headliners.”
