Deer Shed Festival has announcerd the first wave of acts for 2026

The festival will feature a colossal maze with escape-room-style challenges.

Deer Shed Festival have unveiled the first lineup of artists and comedians set to perform at their 2026 edition, following the success of this year’s 15th anniversary celebration.

Headlining the music bill are Sleaford Mods, Everything Everything, and Say She She. The comedy lineup will be led by Stewart Lee and Adam Buxton. Other special guests include The Twilight Sad and Fat Dog (pictured).

The festival will take place from 24th to 26th July 2026 at Baldersby Park, North Yorkshire. This year’s theme, “Into The Labyrinth”, promises an adventurous experience with a colossal maze at its centre, offering escape-room-style challenges.

Deer Shed Co-founder Oliver Jones commented, “We are incredibly excited to be able to share the first names for 2026 today. From returning favourites and friends of the festival like Everything Everything and Stewart Lee to some people who have been at the top of our hit list for years like Adam Buxton and Sleaford Mods!”
