Next year’s edition of the live jazz event will take place at Glynde House in Glynde Place, East Sussex, between Friday July 3 and Sunday July 5.

Today (Tuesday November 18), organisers revealed that the Mercury Prize-winning Ezra Collective are bringing their ‘Temple Of Joy’ show to close out the festival’s first day. It’ll mark their first appearance at Love Supreme in 10 years, following the debut in 2016.

They’ve handpicked numerous artists who reflect their musical influences and collaborative spirit. The confirmed performers are London Afrobeat collective Kokoroko, double MOBO-winning drummer Moses Boyd, UK DJ Luke Una, and Mississippi soul group Annie & The Caldwells.

“Love Supreme has always held a very special place in our hearts,” said Ezra Collective. “It was one of the first festivals where we played to a large audience, and the energy, joy, and connection with the crowd are unlike anywhere else.

“Coming back as main stage headliners feels like a full circle moment for us, and we’re honoured to have been asked to bring some of our favourite bands and artists along to perform alongside us that day.”

They concluded: “We’re going to curate what we’re calling our Temple Of Joy and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone next summer.”

Carner is then scheduled to make his Love Supreme debut with a bill-topping slot the following evening.

“Love Supreme’s been on my list of festivals to play for ages, I always see so many people I love on the line-up,” he said. “Feels like a rare one, that celebrates all the music I hold close. Plus my mum goes every year. Catch you in July!”

Other acts to perform across the weekend include Samara Joy, The Temptations & The Four Tops, Jalen Ngonda, Esperanza Spalding, D.K. Harrell, Carrtoons, and The War And Treaty. The headliner for Sunday night will be revealed in early 2026, along with “many more artists”.

“Love Supreme 2026 promises three days of music, wellness, workshops, and late-night performances in the beautiful surroundings of Glynde Place, East Sussex,” organisers wrote.

Carner recently hosted a residency at the O2 Academy Brixton in London as part of his current UK tour, after headlining the Other Stage at Glastonbury 2025 this summer. He released his fourth and latest album, ‘Hopefully!’, in June.

In a four-star review of the record, NME wrote: “His lyrics and instrumentals may be more intricate than before, but they come together more coherently than ever. This isn’t just Loyle Carner at his most refined, it is the start of a new chapter.”

Carner is set to perform at TRNSMT Festival 2026 in Glasgow next June.

Ezra Collective’s third and most recent LP, ‘Dance, No One’s Watching’, arrived in September 2024. This too earned a four-star review from NME: “Ezra Collective deliver on the excellent ‘Dance, No One’s Watching’, bringing people back together on the dancefloor.”

They took to Glasto’s Other Stage as well in June, and opened for Stevie Wonder at BST Hyde Park 2025.
