Novacaine Festival has completed its 2026 line-up, with Night Thieves revealed as the final band for this year’s event.

The announcement brings the Sheffield festival’s bill to ten acts, with As Everything Unfolds headlining and TropicGold, TheCityIsOurs, Hacktivist, Glass Bridges, FOXHAUNT, The Mechanist, The Heir Apparition and WNSDY AT 7 also confirmed.

Night Thieves will return after performing at Novacaine’s first festival in 2025. According to the festival, an audience survey following the event placed the band among its three highest-rated performers. The band have since released their debut album METAXIS.

Festival promoter Scott O’Shea said: “Last year, I booked Night Thieves because their debut EP single ‘Polarity’ absolutely blew my mind, and I knew we had to get them for our 2025 debut. When we witnessed them live, the atmosphere was insane.”

Speaking about Novacaine’s second year, O’Shea added: “What I thought we’d be able to organise in five years is happening in year two, and that simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support from our attendees and our friends over at Corporation.”

Novacaine Festival 2026 takes place at Corporation, Sheffield, on Saturday 28 November, with tickets priced at £30.
