The Last Dinner Party, Scissor Sisters, Baxter Dury and more to play Wilderness 2026

Wilderness Festival has announced its 2026 lineup - and, if this bill is anything to go by, they’re pushing the boat out for their 15th anniversary year. 

Headlining proceedings are art-pop icons Scissor Sisters and legendary DJ Carl Cox, while theatrical glam-rockers and former DIY cover stars The Last Dinner Party will also be heading to Oxfordshire at the end of July. 

Elsewhere, Soulwax, Baxter Dury, and Groove Armada will be keeping the party going, while Annie Lennox will be spearheading SISTERS - a unique festival takeover that brings together a curated selection of performers - including Annie herself - to raise money for and awareness of feminist organisation The Circle, which supports women and girls in the face of gender-based violence and economic injustice. 

Wilderness 2026 promises a weekend of immersive, world-building delights, from its ten new secret venues, its beloved neon-clad Cricket Match, and of course its luxurious banquet hall dining options (not to mention forest bathing, wild swims, or SUP yoga). 

This year’s edition of Wilderness will take place from 30th July to 2nd August in Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire. General sale tickets are available now; find out more here and check out the full 2026 lineup below.
