The four-day event, scheduled for Aug. 14–17, will return to the scenic Bannau Brycheiniog National Park nestled in the Welsh countryside. As ever, the independent festival will spotlight a wide-reaching mix of U.K., Irish and international talent across multiple stages.
Mogwai will kick things off on the opening night, with U.S. indie icons Wilco following on the Friday evening and Four Tet heading up the lineup on Saturday, following his last headline slot at the festival in 2019. On the final evening, recent BRIT Award winners Wolf Alice will close out proceedings.
Looking towards their upcoming show at London’s Finsbury Park –Wolfe ALice biggest headline concert to date, taking place on July 5 – drummer Joel Amey shared that one of the things he was most proud of was being able to curate the stacked line-up for the gig, which includes The Last Dinner Party, Lykke Li, Rachel Chinouriri, Keo and Florence Road.
“I’m very excited. I’m not nervous yet, but it has got an amazing line-up. Its a dream come true to play there, so we’re very happy,” he said, while singer Ellie Rowsell chimed in and explained how they selected the support acts: “We went to see The Last Dinner Party in LA when we were there, and they put on such a fantastic show.”
Guitarist Joff Oddie continued: “Someone said to us ‘You should ask The Last Dinner Party’ and we went ‘No they’ll never do it’ — but we are so happy that they are because they’re amazing. They’re one of the best live bands. They’re so tight, so musical.” (Full video on NME)
Wolf Alice won Best British Group at the 2026 BRITs and frontwoman Ellie Rowsell used her speech to call for support for grassroots music venues.
The awards ceremony went down last night (February 28) at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena and the North London band were the winners of the Best British Group prize, which they also won back in 2022.
