Sheffield, UK - 14/08/2026 - 16/08/2026 — Povey Fest is officially back for 2026, bringing its signature blend of eclectic music, family-friendly mischief, and intimate farm vibes to the heart of the countryside. Known for its "small numbers, big atmosphere" approach, this year’s festival promises an upgraded experience without losing the grassroots soul that fans adore.

The Main Stage & Beyond:
This year’s lineup is a powerhouse of genre-bending talent. Headlined by the high-octane Dutty Moonshine Big Band and the cult-favorite Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip, the roster also features: Special Guest Steve Edwards with his band, Speed For Lovers, Canadians in Space, Dirty Vertebrae, Speed For Lovers, We are Little Rock, Rough Trade Band, Goldivox, Glass Rhino, The Scribes, Amen Sage, Jube, and Matic Mouth.

The Bar Tent & Late Night:
For those who prefer a beat, the dedicated Bar Tent returns with a stacked DJ lineup including Jayney's Jack Shack, Dill Planet Zogg, Papa Al, Camouflaged Disco, and many more. As the sun sets, the party continues with late-night Silent Discos to keep the farm jumping until the early hours.

More Than Just Music:
Povey Fest 2026 is an immersive weekend for all ages. Attendees can expect:

A "Luxury" Farm Experience: Ditch the Hike Povey Fest 2026 is designed for those who love the festival life but hate the logistics.

No "mile-long treks" with heavy gear—just a quick stroll to the heart of the action.

The site also features:
Posh Amenities: High-quality "posh" toilets and showers.
Family First: Children under 12 attend for free.
Four-Legged Friends: Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to enjoy the farm.

Tasty Street food traders and licensed bars and funky market stalls

"Povey Fest is about community and quality," says Bob Worm "We keep the numbers small so you aren't spending your weekend in a queue or hiking miles just to get from your car to your tent. Whether you're here for a Gong Bath or a Dutty Moonshine mosh pit, we want you to spend your time enjoying the festival, not walking to it."
