Organisers of The Big Feastival have released a guide to the festival’s stages ahead of its return this August Bank Holiday, with more than 30 performance spaces and experiences planned across the site.
Held on the farm created by Alex James, the festival combines live music, food, comedy and family entertainment, with each stage offering a distinct programme throughout the weekend.
At the centre of the site is the Main Stage, where headline music performances will include sets from Basement Jaxx, The Streets and Bastille. Festival organisers say the main field will again host full-day live music, with major evening performances expected to draw the largest crowds.
The Outpost returns as the festival’s indoor late-night venue, running from midday until midnight. Artists appearing there include Fabio & Grooverider, The Allergies and Sweet Female Attitude, alongside Barrioke, hosted by Shaun Williamson.
Food remains central to the festival, with the Big Kitchen once again featuring live demonstrations from leading chefs. This year’s lineup includes Simon Rogan, Poppy O’Toole, Rachel Allen and Emily English.
Comedy and podcasts will be hosted at The Exchange, supported by Monzo, where performances are scheduled from comedians including Joel Dommett, Suzi Ruffell and Ivo Graham. Live podcast sessions and returning festival favourites such as silent disco are also planned.
For younger visitors, The Big Top will focus on family entertainment, featuring performances from MC Grammar and Nick Cope, alongside The Tales of Beatrix Potter.
Additional spaces include Alex James’ Cheese Hub, The Fire Pit and The Barn with Sofar Sounds, completing a programme designed to run across the full festival weekend.
