First acts

They're here. Your first acts for 2027.

The field's filling up for 7-8 August 2027, and what a first drop it is. The first wave is live - 17 acts across blues, rock, soul and Americana, from a Status Quo experience and a globe-trotting Led Zeppelin tribute to the raw power of Kozmic Pearl and the favourites you voted back.

And this is just the first drop - more names, headliners included, still to come.

Feedback loop

You spoke, we listened

The feedback after the first Revival was generous, honest and genuinely useful - and we read every single word. Some of it was lovely, some of it was constructive, and all of it was welcome. So here's what you told us, and what we're doing about it for 2027.

Back by popular demand

We put it to you on Facebook, and you were emphatic. Three of the most talked-about sets of the weekend are back, because you asked for them:

What's changing for 2027

What's different next year

  • More toilets and showers in the campsite

    Your single most requested change. More of both, plus extra water points.

  • A better food and drink offering

    More choice, more variety, proper vegetarian and vegan options, and shorter queues.

  • VIP right next to the stage

    With more shaded areas, for when we get the weather on our side again.

  • Broader programming

    More rock, soul and Motown joining the line-up.

And we're working hard on the first headline announcement for 2027. Not long now.
