Wokingham Festival is thrilled to unveil the full line-up for Monday 31st August 2026, promising an unforgettable day of progressive rock, classic anthems, and boundary-pushing musicianship to round off the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Held in the heart of Wokingham at Cantley Park, the festival’s third and final day has become renowned for its celebration of prog, rock, and the more eclectic edges of live music, and 2026 is no exception.

Headlining this year is the legendary The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the iconic and theatrical performer known for hits such as Fire and I Put a Spell on You. Famed for his electrifying stage presence and influence on generations of artists, Arthur Brown promises a spectacular finale to the weekend.

The main stage will also feature an outstanding line-up of progressive and alternative acts including The Paradox Twin, Kepler Ten, and Perfect Beasts, delivering a rich mix of melodic prog, atmospheric rock, and modern innovation.

On the Second Stage, Splink headline with their unique blend of folk, prog and jazz, a band known for their “no rules” approach and infectious live performances. They are joined by a strong supporting line-up featuring Ebony Buckle, Mordicai Smyth, Eclipse Machine and Mr Pineapple, ensuring a full day of diverse and exciting music.

With no crossover between stages, festival-goers can enjoy every performance across both stages without missing a moment.

The first two days of the festival, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August, offer a wide-ranging programme including tribute acts, cover bands, and original artists, alongside performances from some of the region’s most exciting emerging talent, making Wokingham Festival a truly inclusive and varied musical event.

Festival organiser Chris Hillman of White Star Records said:

“Our Monday line-up is always something special, and this year is a fantastic celebration of progressive and independent music. From a true legend like The Crazy World of Arthur Brown to some of the most exciting contemporary prog acts, it’s a brilliant day for anyone who loves rock in all its forms.”

Wokingham Festival is a family-friendly, community-led event that also features a wide selection of street food, bars, and activities across the weekend.
