Gorillaz are scheduled to headline the first night of the festival, following the release of their new album ‘The Mountain’ in March. Their slot will come after performances from the likes of Little Simz, Dijon, Feu! Chatterton and Sudan Archives earlier that day.
Theodora and Addison Rae are then set to co-headline the next evening. The latter shared her debut studio record, ‘Addison’, this summer. Other acts taking to the stage on Saturday include Mac DeMarco, Oklou, Hayley Williams and Overmono.
We Love Green 2026 will conclude with a closing slot from The xx, who are on the comeback trail next year with other confirmed gigs at Coachella, Primavera Sound (Barcelona and Porto) and Open’er.
The trio’s set at the Paris festival will mark their first performance in France since 2017. They released their third studio album, ‘I See You’, that year, and haven’t played a full show together since that tour wrapped up in 2018.

Elsewhere on Sunday at We Love Green 2026, there’ll be sets from Ethel Cain, Marina, Charlotte Cardin, Dom Dolla and Charlotte de Witte, among others.
Check out the line-up so far on the official poster above.
“For 2026, We Love Green shifts its focus onto the importance of the mood – gathering individuals drawn together by the desire to share an experience, build a community and transcend reality,” organisers wrote.
“We Love Green invites the audience to invest in the moment, discovering new music and exclusive surprises throughout 3 eclectic days of live music, talks and activations in the heart of Paris.”
In other news, Gorillaz have just confirmed a pair of intimate warm-up shows in Bradford ahead of their 2026 UK and European ‘The Mountain’ tour.
Earlier this year, The xx were pictured in the studio together after Jamie xx said they were “having a good time” working on things last summer. This September, they shared some rehearsal footage, following the Coachella line-up announcement.
In June, The xx reunited at the 2025 edition of London’s LIDO Festival, where Jamie xx headlined.
Speaking to NME about The xx’s new material at the BRIT Awards 2024, Romy explained: “We’re just keeping it really open and we’re up for trying new things, but it sounds like us. That’s all I can say right now.”
She continued: “We’ve learned a lot from our different solo projects and it’s cool to learn from each other again. We grew up together and we had a lot of experiences, but to then have time apart and learn new skills, get new musical ideas and experiences and compare them… it’s been a healthy break.”
Meanwhile, The xx have released a deluxe edition of their 2009 self-titled debut album featuring some bonus tracks and covers.
