POP UP ARTISTS I'M EXCITED TO SEE AT C2C 2026

Following the reveal of this year's Country 2 Country's (C2C) Pop-Up Artists due to play in London on Friday 6th February, ahead of the event next month, I thought I would share with you the artists I am excited to see.

Emily Ann Roberts is an artist, I have been a fan of since 2019, and is my MUST-SEE for 2026! Emily is one of those artists that no matter what song she releases is a hit, and her lyrical ability is fabulous - Emily is an artist that wears her heart on her sleeve even if that means breaking into her emotional side, you only have to listen to her latest single, Come Home To You, but Pretty In Pink is an upbeat tune showing just how versatile Emily is as an artist, however, Wild which was released back in 2019, and Keep On are my favourite.

Ashland Craft is an artist I've been familiar with for a while and honestly, I am thrilled that Ashland is FINALLY coming over for C2C. Ashland has written one of my favourite songs and hopefully this is the opportunity I get to hear Momma Don't Pray Like She Used To live.

Hannah Jane Lewis is an artist, I've been a fan of for the past few months and seeing her name on the C2C poster was brilliant. Hannah recently released her latest EP, Consolation Prize featuring 4 songs all of which are brilliant and very catchy, you can hear how passionate Hannah is about her songs. If you can see Hannah, please do. You won't regret it.

Chanel Yates who I saw for the first time during last year's C2C and what an incredible artist she is, who's music in my opinion has only got better and better. I am excited to hear all of her new releases as well as hopefully, Studio Apartment again which is still one of my favourite songs. 

Having only discovered Hannah McFarland last year, I am very excited to hear her live, and see just how fantastic she is live, but if Hannah plays Called It during C2C weekend, I will be a very happy person as this song is written beautifully - one that you can tell Hannah lets out her vulnerability songs like this to me are magic and tell me a lot about the artist.

Annie Bosko where do I begin? An artist who C2C is very lucky to have. Last October, Annie released her latest album, California Cowgirl featuring an old school country feel, alongside a modern twist that makes this album a must listen, but Watch Me and New Way To Fly deserve a listen if you want to know what you can expect from Hannah and her style throughout this magical weekend of C2C.

Just Jayne are a trio, I have supported since their debut single 12 months ago, and honestly the journey this band have been on has been nothing but brilliant to see and support, knowing they are finally coming to the UK - I am so excited to see them! Really hoping they play This Morning, and Basic where are two of my favourite songs from this band, however their latest released just yesterday (Friday 20th February) Death and Taxes is brilliant, and one I can't wait to hear live. I have a very good feeling that good things are coming for this band during C2C weekend.

Georgia Ku is a brand new artist, who I am have to admit I can't wait to hear live having recently started listening to her music. C2C are brilliant at showcasing new artists and I have no doubt Georgia will gain a lot of new fans. Feel like I need to hear A Little More Lost during the weekend.

Also, I can't to see Mae Estes, Rory & Ryan, Max Jackson, Julia Cole, Meg McRee and Elizabeth Nichols.

You can catch the artists mentioned between C2C Festival happening between Friday 13th March - Sunday 15th March, 2026 at The O2 Arena, London.
