Craig David has been announced as the headline act for this year's Wychwood Festival.
He will bring his TS5 show to the Cheltenham racecourse in May, joining the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs, Levellers and Sophie Ellis-Bextor for the festival's 20th anniversary.
The festival will run from 29th to 31st May, and will open its gates for the first-ever Thursday night, headlined by Dutty Moonshine Big Band.
Speaking about this special moment, the band said: "Wychwood is up there as one of the amazing festivals on the circuit and it's an absolute belter of an honour to headline and bring our madness to the first ever Thursday in Wychwood history."
Other performers include Manchester’s indie rock band Everything Everything and Newcastle's Maxïmo Park, who last played at Wychwood in 2015 and return as Special Guests.
Festival Director Graeme Merifield said: “For our 20th anniversary, we really had to go all out for our headliners.
"Craig David brings a whole new dimension to the festival for 2026 with garage and R&B hits.
"When followed by Kaiser Chiefs and Levellers there really is something for everyone! Adding
"Everything Everything and Maxïmo Park guarantees even more indie anthems over the weekend, and completes our strongest music line-up yet.
"Tickets are going fast and we’ve been delighted with the response to our new Thursday add-on, so with this news we are on the road to another celebratory, record-setting year at the racecourse.”
