Kaiser Chiefs have been announced as the first headline act for Wychwood Festival‘s 20th edition in 2026.
For its 2025 edition, the family and music festival, held at Cheltenham Racecourse, hosted Doves, James and Shed Seven as its headline acts.
Further acts are expected to be announced soon.
Graeme Merifield, Festival Director, said: “After such an incredible milestone year in 2025, we wanted to come back with something really special and a first for Wychwood. Announcing Kaiser Chiefs as our Saturday headliner for 2026 feels exactly that.
They’re a band that knows how to unite a crowd and bring pure joy to a festival field so I know this will be a moment to remember.
I can’t wait for us to reveal more names soon, and welcome everyone to the racecourse at the start of next summer – I predict the 20th edition will be another fun-filled record-breaking year together!”
Wychwood Festival takes place 29–31 May 2026 at Cheltenham Racecourse, Gloucestershire. Priority tickets are available from 10am Thursday 16 October, and general sale from 10am 17 October here.
