Blenheim Palace Festival 2026 is a summer concert series in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. It runs across late June and early July and is a non-camping day event — ideal if you want a big headliner show, then head back to a hotel in Woodstock or Oxford afterwards.

Headliners preview
Pete Tong Ibiza Classics is the “hands in the air” night — big Ibiza anthems, orchestral lift, and that warm summer-party atmosphere that works perfectly outdoors.
Alanis Morissette is pure singalong emotion: huge choruses, a legendary back catalogue, and a set that feels made for a dramatic open-air setting.
Teddy Swims brings powerhouse vocals and soul-pop hooks — the kind of show that turns into a full crowd moment from the first big chorus.
Katy Perry is built for festival-scale pop: big production, big hits, and a headline set designed to feel like a celebration.
Neil Young delivers a classic headliner experience — timeless songs, proper musicianship, and a set that leans into the “special venue” vibe.
Michael Bublé is a feel-good closer: big vocals, big charm, and a crowd-pleasing set that suits a dressed-up summer night out.

Overview – what makes Blenheim Palace Festival special
This one is all about big headline shows in a standout setting. Instead of juggling multiple stages and clashes, you get a straightforward “arrive, eat, watch support, watch the headliner, home” day out — perfect if you want a festival feel without camping.
Expect a relaxed crowd, good food options, and a polished production style that suits a historic venue. It’s also a strong option if you’re travelling with friends who want comfort and a proper bed afterwards.

Who it’s for (and who it’s not)
This is for you if…
- You want to see a major artist without camping
- You like a tidy schedule (support → headliner → home)

Not ideal if…
- You want late-night stages and after-parties on site

Dates & location
- Dates: Sat 27 June – Sat 4 July 2026 (concert days across the week)
- Where: Blenheim Park, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, OX20 1PS
- Camping: No – day festival / concert entry only
Hotels (because there’s no camping)
Because there’s no camping, hotels are the move. Woodstock is the closest base, but it can sell out quickly on big show nights. If you want more choice (and often better value), look at Oxford and commute in.
Stay closest: Woodstock
- Quickest journey back after the headliner
- Best if you want a relaxed exit (less travel stress)
- Rooms can disappear fast on the most popular dates
More choice: Oxford / Kidlington / Bicester
- More hotels and generally more availability
- Good if you want restaurants and a bigger evening scene
- Plan your return journey (taxis/buses get busy after curfew)
Tip: if you’re driving, check parking rules first — some options are pre-book only.
Getting there
By train
Oxford is the main rail hub for this area. From Oxford, connect onward by bus or taxi. Plan for extra time after the show when crowds leave together.
By car
Driving is straightforward, but traffic can build up near the end. If parking needs pre-booking, secure it early and arrive before peak entry time.
By shuttle / coach
Some concert days offer shuttle travel options. Always check your date’s travel info before you set off.
Helpful: Official travel guidance
First-timer tips
- Arrive earlier than you think: queues and bag checks can stack up.
- Dress for grass + weather: comfortable shoes and a light layer for the evening.
- Plan your exit: if you’re driving, expect a slow crawl after the headliner.
- Check the rules: bag sizes, prohibited items and entry policy can change by event.
- Bring a power bank: you’ll want battery for tickets, maps and taxis after the show.
Common mistakes (easy to avoid)
- Buying the wrong date (each ticket is for a specific artist/day).
- Leaving hotels too late — Woodstock often sells out first.
- Assuming you can pay for parking on arrival (some dates are pre-book only).
- Not checking travel notes and curfew timings for your concert day.
What people say (the vibe)
Most people describe this as a “proper gig in a spectacular place” rather than a traditional multi-stage festival. The big appeal is simplicity: you’re there for a headline show, there’s space to eat and wander, and you can still sleep in a real bed afterwards.
We keep this section general and update it as the event develops — it’s designed to help first-timers understand the feel before committing to tickets and hotels.
