Basement Jaxx, The Streets and Bastille set to headline The Big Feastival in 2026 - dates and tickets

• The Big Feastival have announced its headline acts for 2026’s edition of the event.
• Basement Jaxx, The Streets and Bastille will all be performing on Alex James’ farm across the August Bank Holiday Weekend.
• The event is set to celebrate its 15th year of amalgamating music and fine cuisine.

Blur’s Alex James is throwing open the gates to his farm in the Cotswolds once again, and this time has invited three huge names to headline his Big Feastival in 2026.

The festival, which blends live music, award-winning chefs, culinary experiences and entertainment for all ages, is set to return for its 15th year next year, taking place once again across the August Bank Holiday weekend, with the festival now officially revealing the first names performing next year on the farm.

One of dance music’s most celebrated acts, Basement Jaxx, are set to headline Friday; the multi-award-winning act, known for their big hits including ‘Rendez-Vu,’ ‘Romeo’ and ‘Where’s Your Head At,’ helped define British EDM with their groundbreaking, million-selling debut, ‘Remedy,’ and their double-platinum UK number one collection, ‘The Singles.’

The band also secured the GRAMMY Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album for their 2005 release, ‘Kish Kash.’ They also boast two BRIT Awards for Best British Dance Act (in 2002 and 2004).

Mike Skinner, the creative force behind The Streets, is praised as a masterful storyteller whose work bridged UK garage, hip hop, and colloquial poetry. His Saturday set is a special moment, performing his seminal concept album. He will perform the 2004 album ‘A Grand Don’t Come for Free’ in full. The album is widely regarded as a "rap opera" that tells a single, connected story about lost money, relationship struggles, and everyday life.

The album was a commercial and critical peak for the project, reaching Number 1 on the UK Album Charts and achieving 4x Platinum certification in the UK (over 1.2 million certified units) and spawned four Top 10 singles, including the iconic anthems ‘Fit But You Know It,’ ‘Blinded by the Lights,’ and the group's first UK Number 1 single, ‘Dry Your Eyes.’

Bastille, led by Dan Smith, have established themselves as one of the UK’s most formidable indie-pop acts, known for delivering huge, anthemic, singalong choruses perfect for closing a festival.

Their track ‘Pompeii’ was their commercial breakthrough, peaking at Number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and reaching Number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It became one of the most-streamed songs in the UK at the time of its release. Their first studio album, ‘Bad Blood’ (2013), debuted at Number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, went on to achieve triple-platinum status, and was nominated for British Album of the Year at the BRIT Awards.

Expect more acts to be announced in the months ahead, but with the headline acts now out of the bag, it is shaping up to be another sensational summer down on Alex’s farm.
