As day turns to night and the ruins glow under beautiful illumination, the site comes alive with multiple stages, a world street-food market, independent traders, and bars serving everything from local ales to cocktails.

This is the first in a series of announcements about the event taking place in September 2026 and includes announcements across three stages below. Further announcements will take place in early 2026. With the Extravaganza not taking place in 2026, Night at the Abbey is your chance to enjoy bands and DJs in this beautiful, unique location.

Main (Dan’s) Stage – From Dub to Disco (via Bluegrass)
Headlining the night is Sophie Ellis-Bextor, bringing her unmistakable disco-pop sparkle, powerhouse vocals and joy-filled performance. They’re joined by The Blow Monkeys, weaving sophisticated pop and soulful hooks; An Dannsa Dub, all the way from Scotland blending traditional melodies with deep, resonant dub; and The Often Herd, celebrated for their inventive, melodic bluegrass fusion.

King Arthur Stage – Finest Electronica
For those seeking all day groove and movement: Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) delivers an eclectic DJ set rich in colour and rhythm, while Phil Hartnoll (Orbital) channels the euphoric, rave-era heartbeat of one of electronic music’s most influential acts. More acts still to be announced.

The Nook – DJs in the Trees
Tucked away beneath the trees, The Nook hosts Grant Plant alongside local selectors spinning deep, soulful selections and dancefloor treasures — part hidden rave, part secret garden gathering. Stay tuned for more DJs being announced for this unique experience.
