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 Line-Up for an Inaugural Event
The festival organisers have pulled out all the stops for their first year, securing global pop superstar Katy Perry as a headline act. She will perform on Wednesday, bringing her catalogue of diamond-certified hits to the stunning palace grounds.
Joining her is the Grammy-nominated Teddy Swims, whose soulful pop anthems have captured audiences worldwide. He will be accompanied by special guest and breakout singer-songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith.
The event kicks off on June 27, 2026, with a performance from dance music legend Pete Tong. He will present his acclaimed Ibiza Classics show, featuring The Essential Orchestra alongside celebrated DJs Danny Rampling and Sarah Story.
