Big Feastival has announced the first wave of headline acts for its 2026 edition, confirming that Basement Jaxx, The Streets and Bastille will top the bill next summer.
The much-loved music and food festival returns to Alex James’ Farm in Kingham, the Cotswolds, from 28 to 30 August, promising another standout August Bank Holiday weekend packed with live music, award-winning food, and family-friendly entertainment.
Opening the festival on Friday night, electronic music icons Basement Jaxx will bring their high-energy catalogue of hits to the main stage. Known for global favourites such as Rendez-Vu, Romeo and Where’s Your Head At, the BRIT and GRAMMY Award-winning duo are known for turning their live sets into spectacular celebrations of dance music culture.
Saturday will see The Streets take over, with Mike Skinner performing the entirety of the era-defining 2004 album A Grand Don’t Come for Free. Featuring hits including Fit But You Know It, Blinded by the Lights and Dry Your Eyes, the album remains one of the UK’s most influential records.
With platinum certifications and a reputation for electrifying performances, Skinner’s set is expected to be one of the most anticipated moments of the weekend.
Closing the festival on Sunday, indie pop giants Bastille will deliver a festival-ready finale. Since their formation in 2010, the band have achieved global success with chart-topping albums, including their debut Bad Blood, and the international anthem Pompeii. With more than 11 million records sold worldwide, their uplifting, chorus-driven live shows make them a fitting conclusion to the long weekend.
Festival founder Alex James said:
“I’m delighted to welcome everyone back to the farm for the 15th year of Big Feastival and to confirm our three outstanding headliners. Our 2026 edition promises to be the best yet – the perfect way to bring the summer holidays to a grandstand finale.”
Event Director Heather Garrett added:
“We always strive to develop the event, from brilliant music moments to foodie feasts and family entertainment. We have so many exciting things planned, and we can’t wait to reveal more in the coming weeks.”
Alongside the headline acts, Big Feastival 2026 will feature top chefs on the Big Kitchen stage, comedy, podcasts, late-night DJ sets, and activities for children of all ages. With more announcements expected soon, the festival is gearing up to deliver another unforgettable bank holiday celebration.
