The Long Road Festival: country, Americana and roots this August
The Long Road Festival.
27 – 30 August 2026.
Country, Americana and roots music takes centre stage as the festival returns to Stanford Hall, Leicestershire. Now in its seventh year, the festival has established itself as one of the UK’s key destinations for the genre, bringing together internationally acclaimed artists alongside some of its most exciting emerging voices.
This year’s line-up is led by multi-platinum singer-songwriter Bailey Zimmerman, 14-time GRAMMY Award winner Emmylou Harris, Maren Morris, Steve Earle and The Shires.
They’re joined by a broad bill spanning contemporary country, Americana, blues and folk, with performances from Muireann Bradley, Ferris and Sylvester, and William Matheny completing the line-up.
