Wilderness Festival has confirmed it will return to Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire, from Thursday 30 July to Sunday 2 August 2026, with Audi once again presenting the much-loved celebration of music, arts, food and wellbeing.

After an unforgettable four days this summer, festival organisers reflected on Season 14 as one of their most magical yet.

“You wait all year, plan every detail, line everything up… and then those four days vanish before you know it. But there is nothing quite like it — no responsibilities, no to-do lists, just music and a little mischief,” they said.

From golden-hour sets on the Wilderness Stage to late-night adventures in The Valley, the 2025 edition left revellers already counting down to the next one.

This summer also saw unique experiences at The Audi Haven, including exclusive performances from Professor Green and Kara Marni, live interviews with Sam Claflin, and culinary flair from Michelin-starred chef Rohit Ghai at the Audi BBQ.

The Audi Wonder Parade, featuring the A6 Avant e-tron, brought golden glamour to the park, while the Nespresso Sip Stop proved the perfect pit stop for sunrise coffees and late-night recoveries.


With its mix of world-class music, woodland adventures, and indulgent food, Wilderness remains one of the UK’s most distinctive festivals.

Organisers summed it up simply: “For once you are fully present. That is where the magic lies, and it’s why we do what we do. We cannot wait to do it all again with you.”

Wilderness Presented by Audi 2026 is set to offer festivalgoers a mix of escapism, adventure and entertainment. The event highlights individuality, creativity and the unexpected, with experiences ranging from moments of calm and reflection to high-energy performances and new discoveries.
