David Gray, OMD, Pete Tong and Sophie Ellis-Bextor confirmed for Hampton Court Palace Festival 2026
Hampton Court Palace Festival will return with huge names in 2026.
The first wave of acts has been announced for next year’s Hampton Court Palace Festival, with David Gray, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD), Pete Tong Ibiza Classics, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor all confirmed to perform.
Set against the backdrop of the historic Tudor palace, the 2026 edition of the open-air concert series will run from June 9 to 20. Known for its intimate setting and historic surroundings, the festival continues to attract major names from across the music spectrum.
David Gray, best known for his multi-platinum album White Ladder and hits like Babylon and This Year’s Love, will return to the stage for a headline set. Tickets for his show are on sale now.
Synth-pop pioneers OMD will also take to the stage, bringing a catalogue of classics including Enola Gay and If You Leave. Meanwhile, Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics will deliver a night of dance anthems reimagined with a live orchestra, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor - riding high from the renewed popularity of Murder on the Dancefloor - will bring her disco-pop flair to the palace grounds.
Pre-sale tickets for OMD, Pete Tong Ibiza Classics, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor go live on Thursday (06.11.25), with general sale starting Friday (07.11.25) via hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com.
More acts are expected to be announced in the coming months.
