Entertainment announced includes main stage artists RUDIM3NTAL, Perrie, White Lies, Freya Ridings, The Coral, Ms Dynamite and more, as well as Big Kitchen culinary stars Anna Haugh, Emily English and Rachel Allen, and fun live shows for the whole family.

Now in its 15th year, the Bank Holiday spectacle is renowned for delivering the perfect combination of incredible live music, acclaimed chefs, and award-winning food as well as an unparalleled programme of family entertainment.
Adding even more star power to an already stacked music line-up, RUDIM3NTAL will take to the main stage with their euphoric fusion of drum & bass, soul, pop and electronic music. PERRIE, the former Little Mix star and one of the UK’s most recognisable pop voices is set to bring her emotionally charged songwriting and pop sound to the Big Feastival main stage, while revered alternative band Doves, hailed for their soaring melodies and atmospheric soundscapes, will also perform over the weekend.
The weekend will also see indie-rock favourites White Lies perform, in addition to the powerful, piano-led pop of Freya Ridings. The Coral add indie pedigree with their unmistakeable blend of psychedelic rock and melodic pop, while Anthony Szmierek, Red Rum Club, Tors, Ms Dynamite, and The Ordinary Boys also join the bill, as well as Bradley Simpson, The Rosadocs, Fiona Lee and The Cuban Brothers.
These acts join previously announced headliners Basement Jaxx, The Streets (who will be performing their lauded second album ‘A Grand Don’t Come For Free’ in full), and Bastille, confirming a genre-spanning line-up set to deliver unforgettable performances.
Delicious Food From Leading Chefs
In addition to the spectacular live music line-up, Big Feastival will once again offer a culinary extravaganza. Award-winning chef, restaurateur and TV presenter Anna Haugh will headline the Big Kitchen stage. Renowned for her modern approach to Irish cooking, Anna is chef patron of Myrtle Restaurant and The Wee Sister in London and is a regular guest on Saturday Kitchen and Sunday Brunch. In 2026, Anna will step into her role as a judge on Masterchef, alongside acclaimed food critic Grace Dent.
For those eager to learn and refine their cooking skills, a stellar line-up of culinary talent will be leading demonstrations and workshops, including Rachel Allen of Ireland’s world-renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School and social media sensation Poppy Cooks, whose no-nonsense potato recipes have earned her a huge online following.
Sally Abé will showcase her modern British cooking, while nutritionist and No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author Emily English will share brilliant nourishing recipes and advice. They will be joined by Amber Francis, Great British Menu’s 2025 Champion of Champions; Tom Barnes of Skof, Manchester, known for his relaxed yet contemporary British fare; and Jon Watts, social media sensation celebrated for his easy-to-follow home-cooking creations.
Matblak, a New Zealand Māori chef brings fire-led cooking and global flavours, and Meera Sodha, The Guardian’s Feast columnist and three-time bestselling cookbook author, famed for her vibrant vegan creations, will also take to the Big Kitchen stage. Alongside them, Nokx Majozi brings a flavour led approach inspired by international influences and cultural storytelling, while Freddy Bird, Rosie Kellett, Duncan Robertson & Kyu Jeon, Christina Soteriou and more will also appear. Together, this diverse array of culinary stars ensures there is something to inspire every food-loving festivalgoer.
Away from the mainstage, superstar DJs will keep the party going after hours across Alex James’ Cheese Hub and The Outpost, while Sofar Sounds curate an intimate programme spotlighting exciting new talent. The Barn also returns for its second year, delivering high-energy, festival fun.
Festival goers can also roll up their sleeves at The Big Feastival cookery schools and masterclasses, then sit back and watch expert chefs tame the flames in the festival’s very own BBQ area, The Smokery.
