Hampton Court Palace Festival returns between 9th – 20th June for another year of incredible music. Tickets are on sale now.
Taking place between 9th – 20 June 2026, the festival will once again bring live music to the historic grounds of the famous Tudor Palace, and the line-up is now announced!
Taking to the stage for two shows on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th of June will be David Gray. One of the most influential singer songwriters of his generation, he released his breakthrough album “White Ladder” in 1998 which went on to become the tenth best-selling album of the 21st century. Also joining the line-up will be synth-pop act OMD, who will make their Hampton Court Palace debut on Friday 12th June.
Dance music legend Pete Tong will take to the stage with The Essential Orchestra on Saturday 13th June. Whilst fans can enjoy the ultimate party night on Friday 19th June, as Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Palace Disco will light up the palace.
The festival also recently announced that the legendary Nile Rodgers & Chic will perform at its 2026 edition, taking to the stage on Wednesday 17th June. Following a sensational sell-out concert in 2024, Nile Rodgers & CHIC return for a non-stop dance party like no other.
Music legends The Stranglers have also joined the line-up, along with Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton, and an exciting 80s Classical concert featuring the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and guest performers Kim Wilde, Go West, Nik Kershaw and Roland Gift.
Tickets are on sale now.
Throughout the festival, the iconic Tudor Palace will open its gates ‘after-hours’, for audiences to enjoy the beautiful East Front Gardens before the nightly concerts begin in the atmospheric, intimate setting of the historic Base Court. To elevate the experience, festival goers can pre-order a luxury picnic hamper to be shared ahead of the performance.
Now in its 31st year, Hampton Court Palace Festival is a highlight of the summer calendar, showcasing a series of phenomenal performances in a truly one-of-a-kind location. Produced in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that cares for Hampton Court Palace, the concert series unfolds against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s grand palace within a vast Tudor Courtyard.
With capacity capped at just 3,000, the festival offers an unmissable opportunity to see legendary artists in an intimate setting like no other.
