Kaiser Chiefs, Levellers, Feeder and Sophie Ellis-Bextor have been announced for Cheltenham’s Wychwood Festival, which will celebrate its 20th edition this year.
Taking place at Cheltenham Racecourse from 29-31 May 2026, the festival will also welcome Boney M, The Pigeon Detectives, Newton Faulkner and Chesney Hawkes. A Friday headline act is also yet to be announced.
The newly announced acts join The Subways, Adult DVD, Nuns Of The Tundra, Dub Pistols and more.
For 2026, Wychwood has also expanded its billing and will open its gates on Thursday to encompass four days of live music and camping while increasing the festival’s overall capacity.
Graeme Merifield, Festival Director, said: “Reaching our 20th anniversary is a huge moment for Wychwood, and this line-up reflects everything we love about the festival. Opening on Thursday for the first time and expanding to four days feels like the perfect way to extend the good times and offer more to our incredible community.
This year we wanted to bring some big names to the bill to show the ambition of where we’re heading, whilst also marking this momentous anniversary year with some friends who have played an important part of our journey from the start, and will ignite those cherished memories in the crowd for so many. From Kaiser Chiefs’ anticipated debut to one of our most-loved and requested headliners of all time, Levellers, 2026 is shaping up to be our most exciting year yet – and there’s even more still to come!”
Pre-sale tickets are available now, with general tickets on sale Tuesday 10 February.
