Hampton Court Palace Festival has named the first acts for 2027, with Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian, The Corrs, Alison Moyet and Kaiser Chiefs confirmed for the series in the palace’s Base Court. The festival runs from 15 to 27 June 2027. Organisers say it will be the only chance to see these artists in London this summer, with more names still to come.
A newsletter pre-sale for the four announced shows opens on Thursday 5 November, with general sale from Friday 6 November at hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com. Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian play on Saturday 19 June, with tickets from £78.40 including fees. Alison Moyet follows on Tuesday 22 June, from £67.20 including fees. The Corrs play their only London show of summer 2027 on Wednesday 23 June, from £140 including fees. Kaiser Chiefs close this first wave on Saturday 26 June, from £84 including fees.
Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian arrive fresh from a run of US dates and last month’s EP, Saving Grace: All That Glitters. The group, formed in 2019, pairs Plant with vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. The line-up draws on blues, folk, gospel and country. Plant was also honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Americana Music Association Awards.
Alison Moyet’s set on 22 June will mix fan favourites, singles and deeper cuts from a recording career that now spans 45 years. She came through punk, was one half of Yazoo, and had a UK number one solo debut with Alf by the age of 23. Ten solo studio albums later, her awards include three BRITs, the Icon Award at the Silver Clef Awards, a BASCA Gold Badge from the Ivors Academy, and a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. In 2024 she marked 40 years as a solo artist with the Top 10 album Key and launched The Alison Moyet Podcast, which topped both UK and international music podcast charts. She has continued to tour through 2025 and 2026.
The Corrs, the sibling quartet of Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim Corr, bring more than three decades of pop rock, harmonies and Celtic folk to Wednesday 23 June. The band have sold over 40 million albums worldwide, with hits including Breathless, Runaway and What Can I Do. Kaiser Chiefs, formed in Leeds in 2000 and fronted by Ricky Wilson, play Saturday 26 June. They have sold over 8 million albums, released eight studio albums (including the Mercury Prize-nominated debut Employment), and collected three BRITs and an Ivor Novello Award. Expect Ruby, I Predict A Riot, Oh My God and Everyday I Love You Less and Less.
Now in its 32nd year, the series is produced with Historic Royal Palaces and returns to Base Court, the Tudor courtyard at Hampton Court Palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Last year’s first acts for 2026 included David Gray, OMD, Pete Tong and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Earlier editions have also hosted names such as Elton John, Kylie, Eric Clapton, Tom Jones, Lionel Richie, Tears for Fears, Van Morrison, Bryan Adams, Andrea Bocelli, Katherine Jenkins, Tracy Chapman, Grace Jones, Simple Minds, Bastille, Elbow, Keane and Crowded House. Elbow’s 2025 date was among recent bookings in the same courtyard.
Doors culture is built around an early arrival. Audiences can use the East Front Gardens before the music, with street food and the option to bring a picnic. Paid extras include the King’s VIP Dining Experience in the State Apartments, access to the Queen’s Garden enclosure, a private Fountain-side Pergola, and a Garden Picnic or Sharing Platter from British Fine Foods.
The palace sits at Hampton Court Palace, Surrey, KT8 9AU, with Hampton Court railway station a short walk away, buses from Richmond and Kingston, and public riverboat services in summer. Further artist announcements will follow on hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com. The festival is on Facebook at @HamptonCourtPalaceFestival, and on X and Instagram at @HCPfestival.
