About

British pop favourites JLS will headline Castle Park on Friday 28 August 2026, for one of the most anticipated open-air concerts of the summer. Joined by special guest Gabrielle with more support to be announced!

Formed in 2006, JLS – Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, Oritsé Williams and JB Gill rose to fame following their breakthrough on The X Factor in 2008. Since then, they have become one of the UK's most successful and best-loved boy bands, achieving multiple number-one singles, BRIT Awards and sell-out arena tours. Fans can expect an energetic live show featuring chart-topping hits including Beat Again, Everybody in Love and She Makes Me Wanna.

Joining JLS on the bill is soul and pop icon Gabrielle, who first rose to prominence in the early 1990s with her debut hit Dreams. With a career spanning decades and much-loved songs such as Out of Reach and Rise, Gabrielle brings timeless vocals and heartfelt songwriting to the Castle Park.
