The London Podcast Festival 2026 returns to Kings Place in King’s Cross from 3–13 September 2026, bringing some of the UK’s best-known podcasts, comedians, broadcasters and performers to the stage. The latest additions include Paloma Faith and Lou Sanders, joining a packed programme of live recordings, special guests and podcasting workshops.
1. Paloma Faith joins Jameela Jamil for Wrong Turns
One of the biggest new additions is Paloma Faith, who will appear on Wrong Turns with Jameela Jamil on Friday 11 September at 7pm in Hall One.
Faith joins comedian Kyla Cobbler for Jameela Jamil’s live show about bad decisions, embarrassing moments and the stories people might normally prefer to forget. Expect plenty of honesty, comedy and unexpected confessions.
2. Lou Sanders joins Caitlin Moran and Adam Frost
Comedian Lou Sanders has also been added to the festival, appearing on Outsiding with Caitlin Moran & Adam Frost on Friday 4 September at 7pm.
The new podcast from the team behind Dish celebrates gardening, wildlife, nature and the pleasures of spending time outdoors, with Sanders joining Moran and Frost for the live Kings Place recording.
3. There are more than just celebrity podcasts
The London Podcast Festival programme covers comedy, science, film, sport, culture and current affairs.
Highlights include The Empire Film Podcast, The Guilty Feminist, No Such Thing As A Fish, The Guardian: Science Weekly, Wooden Overcoats, Our Table with Judi Love, Why Are You More Successful Than Me? with Richard Bacon and The Power of a Book with Rachel Parris.
Some performances will also be available via livestream.
4. Aspiring podcasters can join Maker Weekend
Anyone interested in starting or growing their own podcast should look at the festival’s Maker Weekend sessions.
Workshops include How to Start a Podcast, 7 Steps to Making a Comedy Podcast, What Are Charting Podcasts Doing on Socials? and I Started a Podcast, What Now?
It makes the festival worth considering even if you are more interested in making podcasts than listening to them.
