Music fans in the North West are set for a massive night of pop nostalgia as chart-topping sensations JLS are officially confirmed to headline Live at the Square on Saturday, August 29 2026.
The Brit Award-winning quartet, who skyrocketed to fame on The X Factor (UK), will bring their high-energy stage show to the heart of Derry. Fans can expect a setlist packed with the group’s biggest hits, including chart-toppers like “Beat Again,” “Everybody in Love” and “The Club Is Alive.”
Recognised as one of the UK’s most successful pop acts of the last two decades, JLS have sold millions of records worldwide. Their Derry appearance promises the signature slick choreography and feel-good anthems that have cemented their reputation as a premier live act.
Thomas O’Kane of Live at the Square commented: “This is a massive announcement for music fans in Derry. JLS are one of the UK’s most loved pop groups and their live shows are always incredible. We’re delighted to be bringing them to the festival and we expect huge demand for tickets.”
The event is anticipated to attract thousands of fans from across Northern Ireland and beyond, contributing to a significant weekend for the city's tourism and nighttime economy.
