FIRST WAVE OF OUR 2026 LINE UP IS HERE
SURPRISE! Your first TWO headliners are confirmed with Fabio & Grooverider and The Outlook Orchestra (Friday) and Jalen Ngonda (Sunday) for 2026 (Friday 10 to Sunday 12 July 2026).
Friday's headliner, Fabio & Grooverider, are the undisputed godfathers of drum'n'bass. Back after a string of sell-out dates (including London’s Royal Albert Hall in the spring), their collaboration with The Outlook Orchestra (Friday) is an exuberant celebration of the history of drum'n'bass/jungle, with a set of classic anthems as you've never heard them before.
Following an outstanding afternoon performance at 2025's Mostly Jazz, American singer-songwriter Jalen Ngonda (Sunday) makes a much-anticipated return to the festival. With a breakout year pending, Jalen is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene. His voice - equal parts raw feeling and elegance - exudes confidence and charm.
Joining Jalen on Sunday will be fellow Daptone artists Thee Sacred Souls (Sunday). Hailing from San Diego, the breakout trio mix the easygoing grace of sweet ’60s soul with the grit and groove of early ’70s R&B.
Also joining us over the festival weekend are Mississippi gospel disco soul family band Annie & The Caldwells (Saturday), hitmakers Gabriels, with a special DJ set, award-winning Australian electronic duo Close Counters (Saturday) and singer-songwriter Olive Jones (Sunday)– with further acts to be revealed in the new year.
Tickets going on sale Friday, 10am (19th).
Loads more to come in the new year, see you there 💃
