State Fayre, the brand new major camping festival, has unveiled a huge second wave of artists ahead of its debut edition at Hylands Park from 26th - 28th June, 2026, cementing its status as one of the UK’s most ambitious new festival launches. Less than 30 minutes from London, the 30,000-capacity event promises a full-spectrum celebration of Americana-inspired music, food and culture across an immersive three-day weekend.

Newly announced acts include Stephen Wilson Jr., Jack Savoretti, Orville Peck, Razorlight, The Magic Numbers and Molly Tuttle, alongside a deep supporting lineup featuring Elles Bailey, Nate Bergman, Kezia Gill, Leah Blevins, RYMAN and many more. They join previously revealed headliners Kings of Leon, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts and The Lumineers, rounding out a bill that spans rock, country, folk and roots music.

Beyond the music, State Fayre positions itself as the UK’s largest music and barbecue festival, with The FUME Pit hosting elite pitmasters, live fire cooking and BBQ showcases throughout the weekend. Festivalgoers can also expect boutique camping, fairground rides, craft drinks, vegetarian and vegan food traders and curated experiences inspired by classic American state fairs.
