Friday’s DJ-led celebration channels the spirit of the 90s and the pure joy of pop culture, with Jo Whiley reviving the decade she helped define and Toby Spin adding a fresh twist that keeps the night buzzing.

Saturday 25 July 2026

Saturday shifts into indie-rock euphoria, where Lightning Seeds bring their shimmering, melodic anthems to the lawns. Maxïmo Park follow with their trademark, literate, high-energy performance – alive with the emotional intensity and restless reflections that power their new album Stream of Life and driven by the urgent, celebratory energy that has made them one of the UK’s most exhilarating live bands for over 20 years. Riding The Low add the raw, Midlands-rooted indie spirit that feels right at home in Derbyshire’s landscape, while Propaganda DJs keep the festival feel alive long into the evening.

Sunday 26 July 2026

Sunday’s sunshine sets the stage for the UK’s finest country artists. The Shires return with their Nashville-approved harmonies, Ward Thomas bring heartfelt storytelling through their renowned sisterly blend, Catherine McGrath offers warm acoustic emotion shaped by both Ireland & Tennessee and Minna’s adventurous folk tones drift beautifully across the gardens – creating a pastoral finale to the weekend.
