Wilderness Festival has announced its full 2026 line-up which includes Scissor Sisters, Carl Cox, The Last Dinner Party and more – check out the full line up below.

The fifteenth edition of the festival at Oxfordshire’s Cornbury Park will take place between July 30-August 2.

PayPal pre-sale tickets will be available on February 27 from 10am, followed by an Audi Presents pre-sale on March 2 at 10am. The general ticket sale will happen on March 3 from 10am. You can get your tickets here.

The Wilderness stage will see Scissor Sisters, The Last Dinner Party, Carl Cox perform alongside the likes of Soulwax, Baxter Dury and Saint Etienne.

‘Sisters: Curated by Annie Lennox’ will also take place at the event, which is described as a “unique festival takeover” in a statement.

It added: “Bringing together a hand-picked collection of performers, Annie will present some incredible moments to raise funds and highlight the work of the global feminist organisation The Circle.

“Founded by Annie Lennox and other leading women, The Circle supports women and girls confronting gender-based violence and economic injustice across the world. Annie will curate the unique show with her talented friends in support of women’s rights. Prepare for a festival first.”

As well as the above acts, festival organisers have promised “cult club takeovers, underground live music, brass bands, hip hop collectives and hands in the air DJs. Phone free dancefloors. Secret walled gardens. Long table banquets with Michelin starred chefs. Lakeside spas and wood fired saunas.”

Also new for 2026 are “ten hidden venues” across the site, which are “waiting to be found,” organisers said, adding: “join the unexpected.”

Last year’s event saw headliners Basement Jaxx, Supergrass and Wet Leg play alongside acts including AURORA, Air and Orbital.

Other acts to feature on the 2025 line-up included Jalen Ngonda, Annie Mac, Hinds, Bear’s Den, Mary In The Junkyard, Bootleg Beatles, Die Twice and Mista Trick Collective.

In a glowing review of the 2025 festival, NME said: “After Wet Leg display their mettle on the final night, with Teasdale at one point dousing her hair in water, looking like a boxer who’s just floored the competition, Basement Jaxx close the main stage with a truly jaw-dropping show. The London dance duo rock out from a circular hole cut into the floor, aided in their big beat bonanza by a rotating cast of vocalists and dancers in space-age silver tutus, all of whom strut fearlessly down the tilted stage.

After a 10-year break from performing, the lads are certainly back with a bang. It’s yet another KO at a triumphant Wilderness Festival, the heavyweight glamp-ion of the UK.”
