Barcode Festival, the grocery industry’s must-attend event for brand visibility and team recognition, has announced its headliners.
American pop superstars Scissor Sisters will headline for 2026, with the grocery industry’s biggest one-day live music and fundraising event returning to the iconic grounds of London’s Kenwood House in on 2 July.
Organised by charity GroceryAid to raise awareness and vital funds for the financial, emotional and practical support it provides to grocery workers, the event brings together professionals from across grocery, FMCG and the wider supply chain for an unforgettable day of world-class entertainment, brand experiences and industry networking.
Other acts announced for the event include Isle of Wight indie rockers Wet Leg, 90s dance icons Faithless and a huge singalong party from Massaoke.
2025’s event brought 6,000 industry colleagues, including over 1,000 retail colleagues, and 118 brand activations and raised over £1.4m for GroceryAid.
Kieran Hemsworth, CEO of GroceryAid, said: “Barcode encapsulates the vibrancy and creativity of the grocery sector, whilst giving back to the industry. Not only does the event provide a unique opportunity to showcase products to thousands of industry colleagues, increase connections, reward colleagues, and have a good time; it raises vital funds, ensuring even more grocery workers can access the help they’ve earned.”
