This year's Harrogate Beer Festival will feature two leading tribute acts when it returns to the town, organisers have revealed.
Harrogate and District Round Table has announced that Queen and ABBA tribute acts will headline the 2026 Harrogate Charity Beer Festival, which returns to the Crown Hotel on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th March.
The festival aims to bring together great beer, live entertainment, sport and community fundraising.
And high-profile tributes to Queen (Friday night) and ABBA (Saturday Night) reflects the festival’s evolving focus on delivering a full weekend experience.
Performances will sit alongside live sets from leading local artists, late-night DJ sessions and a packed programme of sport and entertainment.

Across the weekend, guests can sample 60+ local cask ales, alongside a wide selection of keg beers, cider, wine, gin and non-alcoholic options, while enjoying Six Nations rugby and a vibrant festival atmosphere.
Friday afternoon sees the return of the popular Business Beers session (13:30–18:00), welcoming over 100 local businesses for relaxed networking in a social setting, before opening to the public from 18:00–23:00.
The festival continues on Saturday 7th March (13:30–23:00), delivering a full day and night of music, sport, and celebration.
Public tickets remain available, offering £10 off with the code MUSIC10. Full ticket details are available at: www.harrogatebeerfestival.co.uk
