Good Music
Music remains at the heart of Big Feastival, with the 2026 edition bringing together an eclectic line-up of headline acts, festival favourites and emerging talent for a huge weekend of live performances in the Cotswolds.
Electronic music icons Basement Jaxx will headline Friday night, kicking off the weekend with a high-energy set packed with era-defining dance anthems. Known for hits including Red Alert, Where’s Your Head At, Romeo and Good Luck, the duo have spent decades shaping British dance music and remain one of the most celebrated live electronic acts in the world.
With multiple BRIT Awards, a GRAMMY and countless headline performances at major festivals across the globe, Basement Jaxx’s return to full-scale live touring has been one of the most talked-about comeback stories in recent years. Their Friday night headline performance is expected to deliver one of the biggest party atmospheres of the weekend.
Saturday sees legendary UK act The Streets take to the Main Stage, bringing Mike Skinner’s unmistakable blend of storytelling, garage, hip hop and electronic music to the farm. Since the release of the Mercury Prize-nominated Original Pirate Material in 2002, The Streets have become one of the defining voices in modern British music.
From iconic tracks such as Dry Your Eyes, Fit But You Know It and Blinded By The Lights to more recent material including The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light, Mike Skinner has consistently evolved while maintaining the sharp observational writing and raw honesty that made The Streets a cultural phenomenon. Their live performances remain renowned for their energy, crowd interaction and festival-ready atmosphere.
Closing the festival on Sunday night will be Bastille, whose anthemic indie-pop sound has made them one of the UK’s biggest global success stories of the last decade. Fronted by Dan Smith, the band first broke through with the chart-dominating album Bad Blood, featuring the worldwide hit Pompeii.
Since then, Bastille have achieved multiple number-one albums, billions of streams and major international tours, with tracks including Happier, Things We Lost In The Fire and Good Grief becoming festival favourites. Their Sunday headline set promises an emotional and uplifting finale filled with huge singalong moments.
Beyond the headline acts, Big Feastival’s 2026 music programme spans a broad mix of genres and generations. Festivalgoers can also look forward to performances from Rudimental, Perrie, Mimi Webb, Doves, White Lies, Freya Ridings, Ms Dynamite and The Coral, alongside a packed schedule of DJs, live bands and late-night entertainment across The Outpost and the legendary Cheese Hub.
From indie and electronic music to pop, dance and nostalgic festival classics, Big Feastival 2026 is set to deliver another memorable weekend of live music in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Headlining the Big Kitchen stage for 2026 is Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan, renowned for his ingredient-led approach and award-winning restaurants including L’Enclume. Widely regarded as one of Britain’s most influential chefs, Rogan will share the philosophy behind his pioneering farm-to-table cooking through a special live demonstration.
Joining him across the weekend will be acclaimed Irish chef Anna Haugh, known for bringing modern Irish cuisine to a wider audience, alongside bestselling author and nutrition expert Emily English, whose healthy and accessible recipes have built a huge social media following.

As evening falls, the much-loved Fire Pit Feasts will offer guests a unique flame-cooked dining experience hosted by Mak Blak and a stellar selection of guest chefs. Goldies will headline Friday night, followed by celebrated chef Josh Eggleton on Saturday, before Mel Brown rounds off the weekend on Sunday with her bold and flavour-packed cooking. Each feast will begin with a St Germain Spritz on arrival and feature Champagne Canard Duchêne pairings throughout the evening.

Campervan spaces are available but are limited in number. Camping is great fun, but if it’s not your thing, there are also several lovely hotels, B&B’s, and farmhouses nearby, and public buses and taxis to get you to and from the site.
