Additional information

The UK’s largest outdoor Country, Americana and Roots festival, The Long Road, returns for a seventh year to the scenic grounds of Stanford Hall, Leicestershire over the August 2026 Bank Holiday weekend (Aug. 27 - 30). Kicking off the lineup, multi-platinum, record-breaking star Bailey Zimmerman is confirmed as the Saturday night headliner, marking his first UK performance in more than two years, following his sold-out UK and European headline run in 2024.

Celebrated as a true tastemaker event, The Long Road spotlights artists at every stage in their career, from powerhouse veterans to rising stars. With stages inspired by the places that shape country music - from front porches and dive bars, to miles across the Interstate, to the big-break main stage. The festival’s evolution sees 2026 welcoming Bailey Zimmerman, who sets the tone for the strongest line up yet with many more names to be announced soon.

Beyond the music, festival-goers return to The Long Road year after year to soak up the Country lifestyle - U.S. inspired street food and American BBQ, craft beers, the Lucky Dice Classic Car & Bike show, line dancing, campfires, vintage funfair rides, the dog show and pooch parade, activities and games for families & kids, Country-oke, and more.
