Explained simply
Rock N Roll Circus is a live music festival held at Don Valley Bowl, an outdoor venue in Sheffield. It returns to the city for its fifth year in 2027, running across the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Courteeners are an English indie rock band formed in Greater Manchester. The Vaccines and The Lathums are among the other acts named so far; the festival programme also includes newer and less widely known bands.
The event is one of several UK festivals that bring multiple artists to the same venue over several days. Its line-up and ticket sales are announced in stages, so the acts named so far are only part of the programme.
