Rock N Roll Circus will return to Earlham Park, Norwich from Friday 21st – Sunday 23rd August 2026 – and organisers have confirmed that the first headliners will be The Streets, performing their landmark album A Grand Don’t Come For Free in full for the very first time.
The announcement comes as part of The Streets’ newly revealed 2026 UK tour, which will see Mike Skinner and his band take the record on the road in its entirety. The run includes major headline shows across Margate, Bristol, Manchester, London, Ludlow, Leeds and Essex – before arriving in Norwich to headline Rock N Roll Circus on Friday 21 August 2026.
The news marks a major coup for Norwich, following the huge success of Rock N Roll Circus’ debut edition in summer 2025. Across three days, thousands flocked to Earlham Park for headline sets by McFly, Courteeners and Olly Murs, alongside circus performances, workshops, street food and family entertainment.
Released in 2004, A Grand Don’t Come For Free remains one of the most important British albums of the 21st century. Entering the UK charts at Number One and going multi-platinum, it produced era-defining singles Dry Your Eyes, Fit But You Know It and Blinded By The Lights. Revered for its concept-driven narrative, the album captured the humour, heartbreak and chaos of everyday life with rare poetic clarity, cementing Mike Skinner as one of the UK’s most vital voices.
Rock N Roll Circus is far more than a standard festival. Alongside headline performances, fans can expect a packed programme of acrobatics, fire shows, aerialists, interactive workshops, and a curated food and drink village. It currently has 2 editions in Sheffield and in Norwich.
The Big Top set-up means shows are intimate and atmospheric – and always go ahead, whatever the weather.
With The Streets now confirmed for Friday 21 August 2026, organisers promise further headline and line-up announcements in the coming months.
