Valley Fest announces 2026 dates and tickets go on sale

Valley Fest, the wildly beautiful celebration of music, food and fields, is back for 2026 - and will take place from Thursday 31 July to Sunday 2 August 2026. Overlooking the stunning Chew Valley Lake in Somerset, this is so much more than your average moo-sic festival. 

Tickets are officially on sale at 10am at https://valleyfest.seetickets.com/event/valley-fest/valley-fest/3517691#op1, with organisers promising a return to the roots of what makes Valley Fest special: big valley singalongs, unforgettable feasting, connection to the land - and of course, an udderly brilliant line-up.

“I cannot wait to welcome everyone back to the land for 2026.” says festival founder and organic farmer Luke Hasell. “We’re celebrating everything the land gives us - it’s a party with purpose, rooted in soil, soul and silly joy. We’re going back to our roots and bringing back what everyone knows and loves about Valley Fest.”

With a cheeky nod to its farmyard setting, the 2026 edition is leaning into full cowmode. Rumoured artists include The Moo Fighters, Supergrass Eaters, Sabrina Cowpinter and the Beef-ty Boys - though the real line-up remains under wraps until early 2026.

Big Val, hoof-icial spokesperson for Valley Fest and rumoured headliner, said: “It’s about time they asked me to perform and I don’t udder-stand why it’s taken so long. I’m not one to follow the herd, but the 2026 line-up, especially with me on the bill… let’s just say it slaps harder than a wet tail in summer.”

This year’s theme, ‘Back on the Land’, captures the spirit of the festival’s origins: held on a working organic farm and rooted in a love for nature, nourishment and togetherness. From dancing in the fields to wellbeing sessions by the lake and meals cooked over fire, Valley Fest offers a free-range weekend of regeneration and revelry.

Camping options range from classic pitches for bring-your-own setups to fully furnished bell tents in silver (BYO bedding) or gold (bedding included) tiers, sleeping 2-5 people. For those looking to elevate their stay, a limited number of stylish Airstreams are also available in two or four-berth options. All glamping packages are located close to the action, with beautiful views and a few added comforts - but availability is limited, so early booking is strongly advised.

Long time fans of the festival, Supergrass Eaters, are also gearing up for the season and said, “We love life, we love the lawn. Can’t wait to get back on the land for 2026. 100% grass-fed bangers coming your way - let’s go!”

Also wanting to get in on the action is American sweetheart, Bailer Swift, whose new album is better-than-heifer. Bailer said “Valley Fest is the only stage wild enough for what I can bring. Expect heartbreak, harmony and hay for my farmyard debut.”

Tickets for Valley Fest 2026 are on sale at 10am at valleyfest.co.uk with weekend tickets starting from £175 + booking fee. For all updates and announcements, moo-ve over to social media and follow the festival on Instagram and Facebook. 

Whether coming for the music, the food, the cows or just the chaos - this is the kind of festival that fills your belly, lifts your soul and leaves you grinning until the cows come home.
