Big Feastival has unveiled a major new set of names for its 2026 line-up, adding further star power to what is already shaping up to be a packed August bank holiday weekend.
The festival, which takes place on Blur bassist Alex James’ farm from August 28 to 30, has confirmed a mix of chart-topping artists, respected indie acts and celebrated chefs, alongside an expanded programme of family entertainment.
Newly announced main stage performers include RUDIM3NTAL, Perrie, White Lies, Freya Ridings, The Coral and Ms Dynamite. They join previously revealed headliners Basement Jaxx, The Streets and Bastille.
RUDIM3NTAL are set to bring their high-energy blend of drum and bass, soul and electronic music, while Perrie will make her Big Feastival debut with her distinctive pop sound. Indie favourites White Lies and The Coral also feature, alongside piano-led singer-songwriter Freya Ridings.
Other artists confirmed for the weekend include Anthony Szmierek, Red Rum Club, Tors, The Ordinary Boys, Bradley Simpson, The Rosadocs, Fiona Lee and The Cuban Brothers, creating a genre-spanning line-up across the weekend.
Now in its 15th year, Big Feastival has become known for pairing live music with top-tier food and drink, and 2026 will be no exception.
Award-winning chef and restaurateur Anna Haugh will headline the Big Kitchen stage. Known for her modern Irish cooking, Haugh is chef patron of Myrtle Restaurant and The Wee Sister in London and is a familiar face on television. She is also set to join the judging panel of MasterChef in 2026.
She will be joined by a wide range of culinary talent, including Rachel Allen from Ballymaloe Cookery School, nutritionist and bestselling author Emily English, social media chef Poppy Cooks and Great British Menu Champion of Champions Amber Francis.
Further names include Sally Abé, Tom Barnes of Skof in Manchester, Jon Watts, Matblak, Meera Sodha, Nokx Majozi and a host of other chefs, offering demonstrations, talks and hands-on experiences throughout the weekend.
Away from the main stage, late-night DJs will take over Alex James’ Cheese Hub and The Outpost, while Sofar Sounds returns with intimate performances showcasing emerging artists. The Barn also makes a comeback for its second year of late-night festival fun.
Families remain at the heart of the festival, with a packed programme designed for younger visitors. Taskmaster Club will bring its playful challenges to the farm, while MC Grammar and Nick Cope deliver music-led storytelling. Children can also enjoy appearances from Gabby’s Dollhouse, circus theatre from The Flying Seagull Project and outdoor creative play with Lizzie’s Way Woodland Play.
Comedy and live shows will once again feature, with Harriet Kemsley, Shappi Khorsandi and The Scummy Mummies confirmed, alongside Alex Horne and The Horne Section. More comedy and podcast announcements are expected soon.
With further acts still to be revealed, Big Feastival 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most varied editions yet. Tickets for camping, weekend and day entry are on sale now.
