The final acts for this year’s Wokingham Festival have been announced, with organisers promising one of the event’s strongest line-ups yet for the August Bank Holiday weekend.
More than 40 artists are set to perform across two stages, with a mix of original music, tribute acts and family entertainment planned over the three-day festival.
Saturday’s programme has been completed with country headliners Country Chicks UK, alongside rock and roll favourites The Rymatones and electropop act Pixelstorm.
Country Chicks UK will headline Saturday night with a set promising classic and contemporary Nashville-inspired hits. Organisers say the group will bring “foot-stomping energy and unforgettable harmonies” to the main stage.
The Rymatones, known for reviving the sounds of 1950s and 60s rock and roll, will join the bill, while award-winning electropop band Pixelstorm — recently named International Electro Act of the Year at the Radio Wigwam Awards — will add a modern electronic edge to proceedings.
Sunday’s line-up has also been strengthened with tribute act The Sting Operation, Berkshire covers band 4G, funk and disco favourites Funkin’ Souled Out, and genre-blending indie act Ghost Cat.
Festival-goers can also look forward to Sunday night headliners The Ogretones, described as the UK’s leading tribute to the music of the Shrek films.
Monday’s bill continues the festival’s established progressive and classic rock focus, with Forgotten Gods and Eclipse Machine completing the line-up. They join headliners The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, alongside The Dead Can Wait, The Paradox Twin, Kepler Ten and Perfect Beasts.
Arthur Brown, famed for his 1968 hit Fire, will top Monday’s main stage. Organisers say his appearance is one of the festival’s major highlights.
Festival organiser Dean Nelson said 2026 was shaping up to be “one of our best years yet”.
“Wokingham Festival has always been about bringing our community together,” he said.
“It’s a true family event – three days of amazing live music, brilliant food and drink, and a welcoming atmosphere that everyone can enjoy.”
Alongside the music, organisers say visitors can expect food stalls, a real ale bar, craft beers, ciders, cocktails and activities for children.
The festival, which champions local talent alongside national touring acts, will once again feature alternating stages to ensure continuous live music throughout the weekend.
Early bird day and weekend tickets are now on sale, with organisers saying they offer savings of more than 30% compared with gate prices.
Wokingham Festival takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
