Maverick Festival 2026
Maverick Festival returns to Easton Farm Park in Suffolk from 4 to 6 July 2026, bringing its trademark blend of Americana, roots and alt‑country to one of the most characterful independent festival settings in the UK. Now in its latest edition, the festival continues to champion the artists who shape the modern Americana landscape, from transatlantic trailblazers to homegrown voices carving out their own space in the genre. With the third wave of artists now announced, the 2026 line up is its richest and most wide‑ranging yet.
This year’s bill features a vibrant mix of storytellers, road‑tested bands, harmony‑driven duos and genre‑bending musicians who push Americana into new territory. Fans can expect everything from high‑energy roots rock to intimate acoustic sets, Cajun swing, folk noir, bluegrass‑leaning songwriting and the kind of left‑field discoveries that Maverick has become known for.
Leading the newly expanded line up are Electric Blue Yonder, Rose’s Pawn Shop, Waco Brothers, Lily Talmers, Vandoliers, Stacy Antonel, Leeroy Stagger, James Hodder, Carter Sampson, Dom Glynn & His Sunday Best, Ben de la Cour, A.D. Scruffs, Cajun Roosters, Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons, Cajun Royale, Hillfolk Noir, Laurence Kingston Band, Campbell & Johnston, The Autumn Saints, Courting Ghosts, The Dead Religion, Dreaming Spires, Jason McNiff, Simon Stanley Ward, Jerry Hannan, Steady Habits, Sweet Lucy, Kelvin Davies & Chloe Turner, Chris Murphy, Sian & Rob Colquhoun, The Swaps, Arkansas Dave and The Henry Brothers.
Across the festival’s unique stages, audiences will find everything from raucous, full‑band sets to stripped‑back performances that let the songwriting shine. Expect the Waco Brothers’ punchy, punk‑edged Americana, the atmospheric storytelling of Dreaming Spires, the Cajun Roosters and Cajun Royale bringing Louisiana heat to Suffolk, and the Vandoliers delivering their bold, Texas‑fired alt‑country. There are also plenty of rising names to discover, including Lily Talmers’ poetic folk, Stacy Antonel’s genre‑crossing vocals and Dom Glynn’s warm, roots‑driven sound.
Maverick’s charm lies not only in its line up but in its setting. Easton Farm Park offers a relaxed, rural backdrop where audiences can wander between barns, courtyards and open‑air stages, each with its own atmosphere. The festival’s commitment to authenticity, community and musical curiosity remains at its heart, making it a highlight of the UK Americana calendar.
With the third wave now confirmed, Maverick Festival 2026 promises a weekend of discovery, connection and world‑class Americana in one of the most welcoming festival environments around.
