Oxfordshire is set to welcome a spectacular new addition to the UK's summer festival scene with the debut of the Blenheim Palace Festival in 2026.
A Stellar Inaugural Lineup
The festival organisers have pulled out all the stops for their first year, announcing an impressive initial roster of talent. Global pop superstar Katy Perry will take to the stage, promising a hit-filled performance showcasing her Diamond and multi-Platinum certified anthems.
She is joined by the Grammy-nominated sensation Teddy Swims, whose unique fusion of soul and pop has captivated audiences worldwide. He will be accompanied by special guest and breakout singer-songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith.
Kicking off the five-day event on Friday, June 27, dance music legend Pete Tong will present his acclaimed Ibiza Classics show, featuring The Essential Orchestra. Celebrated DJs Danny Rampling and Sarah Story are also on the bill for the opening night.
Essential Festival Details
The Blenheim Palace Festival is scheduled to run from June 27 to July 1, 2026, transforming the grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site into a premier music destination.
This landmark event is the result of a partnership between leading live music promoters Cuffe & Taylor (a Live Nation company) and renowned producers MARI Arts & Entertainment.
