THE ABR FESTIVAL 2026 MUSIC LINEUP IS HERE

During the day, the ABR Festival is all about riding, trails, gear, and community.

By night, it becomes something else entirely.

As the engines fall silent and the dust of the on-site trails settles, the Ragley estate comes to life with live music, late-night singalongs, fist-pumping anthems, and the kind of atmosphere you only get when thousands of like-minded people end up in the same field at the same time.

For us, creating those nights starts with a simple question. What do you want to hear when you’ve parked the bike up for the day and the stages light up? The answer doesn’t come from meeting rooms or guesswork, it comes from the crowd.

Over the past year, we’ve been asking this question everywhere. At the festival, in comment sections, after the event, and face to face with thousands of you at this year’s MCL. And over the last six months, the same three names kept cropping up: Let There B/DC, Ben Portsmouth: This Is Elvis, and Krystal Roxx.

So, we listened. And we’re delighted to announce the ABR Festival 2026 live music line-up.

First up, here’s who’s coming to the BikerHeadz Stage next June…

Super Thursday

The ABR really sparks into life on Super Thursday. The journey in is done, the tent is taken care of, and the beer begins to flow. There are catchups with familiar faces and new friendships popping up all over the place. For those arriving, it’s an extra day onsite to enjoy the trails, test ride the latest bikes, soak in the electric atmosphere, and enjoy first dibs on the best camping spots. There’s a palpable sense of ‘I’ve arrived’ as the first band begins to play and the festival really kicks off.

Ska Train

Taking to the stage first will be Ska Train, a seven-piece line-up bringing a full-on two-tone revival to Ragley Hall. Paying tribute to the scene’s founding greats, including The Specials, The Selecter, and Madness, they’ll bring the bounce, brass, and energy to get the whole arena moving from the off.

Absolute Bowie

Seamlessly weaving the many faces of Bowie together in one spectacular show, Absolute Bowie faithfully recreate the sound, style, and swagger of one of music’s true icons. With more than 20 years on the road, their finely tuned set spans Bowie’s greatest hits from Ziggy Stardust to Young Americans.

These Wicked Rivers

Drawing inspiration from the biggest rock icons and blues greats of the past, These Wicked Rivers roll into Super Thursday off the back of their UK Top 3 rock album Force of Nature. If you’re new to the band, their cover of the Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter is a must-watch, and a very good indication of the type of storm they’re about to unleash.

Dr Feelgood

Opening night demands a headline act with pedigree, swagger, and enough raw energy to kick the doors of the ABR Festival open, and R&B legends Dr Feelgood deliver all three in spades. Expect a blistering set packed with classics like She Does It Right, Roxette, and Milk and Alcohol.

Available for just £79, a Super Thursday ticket is the perfect way to kick off your ABR Festival in style. Simply add one to your basket along with your Discount Weekend ticket, and you’re all set.

Friday: The Big One

Friday night always feels huge. Pretty much everyone is onsite, and the whole arena is a hive of activity. Everyone’s buzzing to be there and the atmosphere is electric. This is the night where everything feels bigger, louder, and better.

Voodoo Room

We kick off proceedings with a band born of a shared love of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream. Voodoo Room are bringing the raw power of late-‘60s blues rock to the ABR Festival. Described by Time Out as ‘just great musicians playing great music’, they will set the tone early with proper guitar music that’s loud, loose and packed with feel.

Limehouse Lizzy

Recognised as one of the planet’s finest tributes to Phil Lynott and the unmistakeable sound of Thin Lizzy, the boys from Limehouse Lizzy are back in town to tear up the BikerHeadz Stage on Friday. With more than three decades of show-stopping performances under their belts, if there’s a Thin Lizzy song you love, they’ll almost certainly play it.

U2UK

As U2, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen pioneered the ultimate stadium rock and roll shows of the 1980s. Powering these groundbreaking performances were songs like Where the Streets Have No Name, Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, and New Year’s Day, and U2UK will perform them with pitch-perfect accuracy on the BikerHeadz Stage.

The Hush

Hailing from Ireland, The Hush bring a high-energy rock show that jumps effortlessly from Phil Collins to The Prodigy. It’s the kind of set that will have tired legs at the front of the BikerHeadz Stage in no time.

Let There B/DC

Some bands don’t just play Friday night at the ABR Festival, they define it. Let There B/DC did exactly that at the ABR Festival 2025, turning the arena into a wall of raised hands, noise, and AC/DC riffs.

Close your eyes, let the music wash over you, and you’ll be forgiven for thinking Angus and the boys have been brought through time to play a secret set at the ABR. And when you open your eyes, you’ll see that they’ve got the moves to match the sound.

Saturday: One For The Road

Saturday night is like the ultimate second wind. The riding’s been incredible, the stories are in the making, and suddenly everyone realises it’s the last chance to empty the tank. It’s our party night. One more round, and one more song shouted with your arms around strangers who now feel like old mates.

The Police Force

The party starts with The Police Force, who are set to bring the sound, look, and feel of one of rock’s greatest three-piece bands to life. With over ten years on the road, they deliver classics like Roxanne and Message in a Bottle with pinpoint precision.

The Stevie Wonder Celebration

Stevie Wonder is the master of making people smile, and the nine-piece Stevie Wonder Celebration are here to spread that same joy. Expect feel-good hits like Superstition, Higher Ground, and Master Blaster, the kind of songs that will have you up and moving before you know it.

Heartbreak: The Tom Petty Show

Making their ABR Festival debut, Heartbreak: The Tom Petty Show will bring the laid-back swagger and distinctive sound of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to life on the BikerHeadz Stage. A must-see show for anyone who appreciates Tom Petty’s incredible songbook including American Girl, Free Fallin’, I Won’t Back Down, and Runnin’ Down A Dream.

Fleetwood Bac

With one of the deepest songbooks in popular music behind them, Fleetwood Bac are widely regarded as the UK’s finest Fleetwood Mac tribute. Dreams, Go Your Own Way, The Chain…you already know what’s coming, and you know you’ll be singing every word.

Ben Portsmouth: This Is Elvis

Ben Portsmouth doesn’t just perform Elvis. He becomes him. Backed by a full nine-piece band and recognised in Memphis as the world’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist, Ben and the Taking Care of Elvis band return to the ABR Festival to close out Saturday night with a glittering, full-throttle Vegas-era spectacular. The perfect ABR finale.

And The Beat Goes On…

At the ABR Festival, live music goes way beyond what happens on the BikerHeadz Stage. As the sun begins to set and the lights come up, the entire site becomes a melting pot of different sounds and moods. Wherever you wander, there’ll always be something pulling you in for one more song.

The Bridgestone Stage is the home of alternative sounds, with an eclectic mix of bands and artists providing the perfect soundtrack through Friday and Saturday night.

Returning by popular demand, Krystal Roxx will blend party anthems and Ibiza classics into a lively dancefloor wherever she sets up. On Friday night, The All New Blues and Soul Revue bring a full-on Blues Brothers-style show packed with groove, bass, and big energy, while Mariachi Encanto UK add a bold, joyful twist to Friday with their distinctive take on modern pop.

Saturday brings something truly uplifting, as the 150-strong Voices Unlimited choir return with their powerful, feel-good take on a huge range of crowd-pleasers. If southern bluegrass, cajun grooves, and old-time Americana are more your thing, the Mudlands String Band are back with their foot-stomping mix of whoopin’, hollerin’ and infectious energy.

Introduced in 2025 and returning thanks to huge demand, the ZERO Silent Disco is one of the most surreal and brilliant late-night experiences you’ll find anywhere at the festival. You’ll get lost in your own groove, belting out the words to your favourite tune, and suddenly remember that you, your friends, and everyone around you are doing it in complete silence.

If your idea of a good night leans more toward an old-fashioned knees-up, head for The Magic Teapot, where piano-led singalongs roll on into the evening. And if you fancy something a little more relaxing, the Horsebox Stage is where things gently wind down, with Hokum and Hooch providing warm melodies and beautiful harmonies to ease you towards a well-earned sleep.

By the time the last note fades and the lights finally go out, these are the nights that you’ll talk about on the journey home.

So, secure your spot at ABR Festival 2026 and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime, and if you buy a Discount Ticket now, you’ll save £20 on a weekend stay.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Ragley Hall next June, it’s going to be special.
