Float Along Festival – White Lies
The Spiel
Join us for the headline act of Float Along Festival! Float Along Festival, Sheffield’s premier inner-city multi-venue festival, is returning on Saturday 26th September 2026 for its fifth year. Float Along transforms the city centre into a vibrant hub for post-punk, psychedelic rock, and indie talent. Headlining this year’s festival is White Lies, whose anthemic, atmospheric sound has made them one of Britain’s most enduring indie acts. With a catalogue spanning more than a decade, their addition marks a landmark moment for the festival’s 2026 edition.
