Sunday arrived in Portsmouth with wall-to-wall sunshine and a real sense of occasion—it was time for the grand finale of Country On The Coast 2026 at The Gaiety, and the energy was something special.
Opening the acoustic stage—and making an unforgettable festival debut—was 22-year-old Annabel Freya. Her performance was packed with promise, and if this set was anything to go by, she’s got a seriously bright future ahead.
Over on the main stage, Jada Cato returned to deliver yet another standout performance, proving exactly why she’s been one of the weekend’s breakout stars. Sam Butler followed, bringing rich, soulful tones and unmistakable Tyler Childers vibes that had the crowd completely locked in.
Stepping in for Preston D Barnes, Thomas Kavanagh rose to the challenge and then some—delivering a confident, crowd-pleasing set that showed he more than deserved his spot on that stage.
Back on the acoustic stage, Payton Riley brought big energy and even bigger emotion, with songs full of love, heartbreak, and attitude. The 20 Music Roots writers round followed, featuring Naomi Campbell, Simon Howard, and Brooke Law—three incredible voices, a stack of catchy songs, and pure country magic from start to finish.
Jesse Jennings kept things rolling with a powerhouse acoustic set—his voice is the real deal, and he definitely left with a whole new army of UK fans.
Then came one of the day’s biggest moments—The Wranglers hit the main stage with a vibrant, high-energy set bursting with passion. An absolute highlight.
Jackson Ray brought Oklahoma charm to the acoustic stage with a set full of strong vocals and standout songs, before Katie Whittaker made the journey from Scotland more than worthwhile with a captivating main stage performance.
Dusty Moats followed with a brilliant mix of humour, heart, and seriously good songwriting—“Somebody Else’s Problem” is one you’ll want on repeat. The Good Lies then turned up the volume with their infectious country rock sound, leaving everyone wondering about the story behind “Sally.”
Closing the acoustic stage in style was Brighton’s own Gina Larner, delivering a polished, powerful set that felt like the perfect send-off.
And then, the grand finale—Country Ties took to the main stage and brought the entire weekend home with an electrifying blend of country and bluegrass. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable weekend by the sea.
Huge credit goes to Hannah and the entire team behind the festival—what they’ve built here is something truly special. Country music is thriving in the UK, and weekends like this prove it.
If you weren’t there this year, make sure you change that next time—Country On The Coast is only getting bigger and better 🤠

Saturday in Portsmouth turned the dial all the way up—sun shining, crowd buzzing, and another full-throttle day of country magic at Country On The Coast 2026 at The Gaiety!
The acoustic stage got rolling with Jukes, bringing a gritty, authentic outlaw country sound that set the tone perfectly. Hot on his heels were Waif & Stray, the ultimate musical chameleons, whose slick, seamless harmonies had the crowd hooked from the first note.
Over on the main stage, Welsh powerhouse Bryony Sier kicked things off in style—her stripped-back take on Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” was nothing short of spine-tingling. Ollins Lande followed on the acoustic stage with a heartfelt singer-songwriter set, before former West End star Michael Pickering brought serious star quality to the main stage.
Rebecca Richards then delivered a standout acoustic set, blending country, folk, and blues effortlessly, with Guy Surtees’ bass adding a rich, soulful depth.
A burst of line dancing led by Dance Fusion kept the energy sky-high, before Nashville’s very own “Cosmic Cowgirl” Jada Cato lit up the acoustic stage—an incredible voice that demanded attention. Briggs & Stark kept things fresh and fun with their unique twist on country… flute included!
Kassidy Kiernan brought lush country harmonies to the main stage, while Kerryl reminded everyone exactly why he’s one of the UK’s finest male vocalists with a stunning acoustic performance.
Then came a true taste of Texas—Jackson Ray, Jesse Jennings, Dusty Moats, and Payton Riley hit the main stage and delivered big, bold country sounds straight from the Lone Star State.
Newly engaged Cassa Jackson charmed the acoustic crowd, before Ryan Evans absolutely set the main stage ablaze with a masterclass in musicianship—easily one of the day’s biggest highlights.
Sammie Soravia followed with a breathtaking acoustic set that left the audience completely spellbound—you could’ve heard a pin drop. Chasing Twisters brought full-band country energy back to the main stage, before Stella Lain, the “Country Barbie,” turned up the glam and the attitude.
Jack Browning delivered a deeply authentic, traditional country set that felt timeless—like watching a young Bob Dylan in the making. Hannah Trim kept the acoustic vibes flowing beautifully, before Katy Hurt and her band stormed the main stage with a powerful, high-octane performance.
Bringing the day to a perfect close, Shea Rafferty wrapped up the acoustic stage with style, capping off an unforgettable Saturday packed with standout performances, huge energy, and pure country magic.

Friday night in Portsmouth couldn’t have set the scene any better—clear skies, a buzzing crowd, and the electric start of Country On The Coast 2026 at The Gaiety.
Kicking things off on the acoustic stage was Dorset’s own Tristan Hutton. His country-pop style and rich, traditional storytelling created the perfect laid-back, feel-good opening to ease everyone into the festival vibe.
Then it was over to the main stage where Birmingham’s The Lost Notes took things up a notch. Their stunning three-part harmonies echoed the spirit of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, instantly lifting the energy and drawing the crowd right in.
Back on the acoustic stage, Americana duo Virginia Dirt brought a cool, effortless charm, delivering a set that felt both intimate and captivating.
Rhiannon Paige and her band stormed the main stage next, turning up the heat with powerhouse vocals and a bold country-pop rock sound that had the audience fully locked in.
Keeping the momentum going, Nashville-based Zoe Jean Fowler—currently touring the UK—graced the acoustic stage with a beautifully crafted set packed with strong melodies and flawless harmonies.
Closing out the night in style was Yorkshire’s own country DJ, Liam Brice. His high-energy set transformed the venue into a full-on party, complete with spontaneous line dancing and a run of country classics that kept everyone on their feet.
All in all, Friday night at Country On The Coast 2026 was an unforgettable kickoff—setting the tone perfectly for an incredible weekend of country music ahead.
