Moovin Festival has revealed its final wave of artists for the 2026 edition, completing an eclectic line-up that includes newly announced acts such as Fish56Octagon, The Mouse Outfit, and Mungo’s Hi-Fi. Alongside the final line-up drop, the independent festival has announced the launch of day tickets and revealed its highly anticipated stage splits.
Returning headliners Groove Armada, who praised the festival’s unique atmosphere during its 10th anniversary edition in 2024, will be taking over the legendary Barn Stage once again. They join a stacked roster of major acts including 2manydjs, Gilles Peterson, and Nightmares On Wax. New additions DJ Rap, Jon Dasilva, Galliano, Jumpin Jack Frost, Psychederek, and Suns Of Acid round out the top tier of the bill.
Running from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 June 2026, Moovin Festival will once again take place at the picturesque Whitebottom Farm in Etherow Country Park, Stockport. The idyllic location sits just 30 minutes from Manchester and an hour from Sheffield, offering an immersive countryside escape within a wooded valley complete with lakes, waterfalls, and a dramatic gorge entrance.
With the release of stage splits, fans now have the flexibility to catch their favourite performers on specific days. Day tickets have officially gone on sale, starting from a very accessible £40 per day. Weekend tickets remain available for those looking to experience the full three-day boutique gathering, which is well-known for its notorious £5 pints and exceptional value.
The final line-up announcement embraces the festival’s famously off-kilter and playful side. The bill champions a mix of local talent, leftfield acts, and eccentric performers, such as beatboxing harmonica players, the quintessentially British Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, and the surreal Junkoactive Wasteman—a performer described as part man, part bin.
These new and eclectic performers join an extensive list of previously confirmed heavyweights spanning dance, electronic, and hip-hop. The 2026 roster includes DJ Paulette, alongside Moonchild Sanelly, Chali 2na, Mr Scruff & MC Kwasi, Porij, Quantic, Ozric Tentacles, Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble), Greg Wilson, Luke Una, Dan Shake, Freestylers, Jaguar Skills, Utah Saints, Plump DJs, Soul Of Man, A.Skillz, DJ Woody, Micky Finn, Nicky Blackmarket, Brockie, and DRS.
Proudly VIP-free, Moovin maintains its independent, unpretentious spirit and welcoming crowd. The festival provides a relaxed environment featuring straw bale seating, holistic healing, circus performers, drumming collectives, magicians, and yoga. It perfectly captures the essence of a 1990s free party, driven by world-class sound systems and an unforgettable weekend energy. For ticket options, head to the Moovin Festival website.
