The Blenheim Palace Festival 2026 will kick off with Katy Perry headlining on July 1, 2026, with Teddy Swims and special guest Lauren Spencer Smith performing on June 30, 2026, and Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics with a 65-piece orchestra on June 27, 2026.

Two additional world-class headliners will be announced before the debut edition, completing a five-night lineup across the festival.

The publisher notes it does not run advertising and relies on readers purchasing tickets through listings to support editorial content.

The festival is staged in an open-air Great Court setting at Blenheim Palace, with hospitality and VIP options, on-site parking, and travel and accessibility details available on the event pages.

Promoters Cuffe & Taylor and IMG Arts & Entertainment are behind the festival, marking a transition from Nocturne Live Oxfordshire’s long-running outdoor event at the same site.

The lineup emphasizes prestige and diversity, blending dance, pop, and live orchestral performances across themed nights.

Media coverage includes Perry’s collaboration with Dr. Luke and discussion of the single Women’s World, alongside ongoing attention to her publicity, including a high-profile Blue Origin space trip.

Perry’s April 2025 Blue Origin space trip drew criticism from several celebrities and commentators, continuing her high-profile media presence.

The festival is a collaboration between Cuffe & Taylor (a Live Nation company) and MARI Arts & Entertainment, described as a world-class celebration of music, culture, and heritage at a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Peter Taylor, co-founder of Cuffe & Taylor, calls the festival an honor and a platform for a premier cultural experience at Blenheim Palace.

The event aims to offer a unique outdoor experience framed by Blenheim Palace, celebrating music, culture, and the arts on the historic site.

General sale for the festival opens at 9:00 GMT on Friday, November 14, 2025, with presales beginning November 12–13 for selected groups.
