The Lottery Winners will perform at Bergenfest 2026 Wednesday, June 10.
The Lottery Winners are part of the new wave of British indie, with multiple chart-topping releases. The Manchester band’s fourth studio album KOKO went straight to No. 1 on the UK Official Albums Chart, a confident follow-up to Anxiety Replacement Therapy, which also reached No. 1 in May 2023. Their list of collaborators is impressive and includes Shaun Ryder of Happy Mondays, Boy George, Shed Seven and Frank Turner. Even Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger appears on the latest record, on the track “Ragdoll”.
Live, the band are selling out the biggest venues in their hometown. Three consecutive sold-out nights at Manchester Academy 1, with a total of 7,500 tickets sold, were followed by their largest UK and European tour to date, including a show at London’s iconic O2 Shepherds Bush Empire. The Lottery Winners have also been hand-picked as support for artists such as Morrissey, Avril Lavigne, Tom Jones, Paul Weller and Richard Ashcroft.
This summer they head out on a UK and European stadium tour with Robbie Williams. With shows in the Netherlands and performances at SXSW already under their belt, The Lottery Winners are now set to win new hearts when they play Bergenfest 2026 this summer.
