Music Barn Festival has unveiled its full 2026 lineup, confirming its most confident and ambitious edition to date. Returning on Saturday 6 June 2026, the independent festival once again takes over the Northamptonshire countryside, continuing its rise as one of the UK’s most respected small-scale, multi-genre events.

Headlining the bill are two true heavyweights. Drum and bass icon High Contrast will perform alongside Felon MC, bringing decades of genre-defining output to the field. House music pioneer Todd Terry also tops the lineup, underlining the festival’s commitment to booking artists who have shaped dancefloor culture across generations.

They are joined by a diverse, carefully balanced programme spanning house, drum and bass, hip hop, live music, garage and techno. Standout names include Beans on Toast, Carly Wilford, P Money, Simula, Seb Fontaine, Too Many T’s and Nicky Blackmarket. International names and national favourites sit comfortably alongside emerging grassroots talent, reinforcing Music Barn’s identity as a platform for discovery and celebration.

Over 80 artists will perform across the single-day event, delivering the intensity and variety of a weekend festival without the sprawl. Tickets start from around £35, with accessible camping from £40, making Music Barn one of the most affordable ways to catch prominent names in an intimate open-air setting.

Collaboration remains central to the festival’s setup. Selecta returns to curate the drum and bass stage, Dance Till Dawn makes its first appearance to host the house stage, Fleckies takes charge of the hidden Through the Hedge micro-venue, and House Proud elevates the VIP experience.

Following a strong 2025 edition, Music Barn Festival 2026 marks a clear step into a new era. Independent in spirit, ambitious in scale, and focused on music first experiences, it is staking a serious claim as a must-attend fixture at the start of festival season.
