Entertainment Swindon will be back at EFest this summer, with our editor Mike, getting back up on stage at the festivals MC/Compere after standing in last year at last minute, it seems they want him back.
This year, this family friendly three day festival held at Thatado Farm will be held from Friday 28th to Sunday 31st August. Now in its sixth year, 2026 is gearing up to be its biggest and best yet, with over 20 music acts over 2 stages.
The emthisis for the festival is family and kid friendly, so prior to the live music kicking off each day, there will be a Kids Mini Disco, along with fun and games.
To add to the fun for everyone, there will be fancy dress days for those wanting to get in the festival spirit with Hawaiian Shirt & Bucket Hat competitions. And get ready for it… Santa & the Grinch will be visiting on the Friday and snow is also guaranteed, yes, you read that right! Santa & the Grinch will be getting on down to the EFest vibe!
Along with the amazing entertainment throughout the weekend, there will be stalls, a variety of food vendors, including Mazzas Munchies, a beer tent and cocktail bar.
For those wanting to take in the ultimate EFest experience, camping is available.
This year, Efest is also raising money for two fantastic charities, The Multiple Sclerosis Society and The Brain Tumour Charity.
EFEST 2026 HEADLINERS ANNOUNCEMENT
Efest 2026 is going to be epic! The headliners are all returning by popular demand.
Friday’s headliner, is the Jamestown Brothers, who made a fantastic debut at Efest last year and left a lasting impression. They’re known for their unique blend of country, rock, and Celtic styles, with strong lyrics and catchy tunes that get everyone singing along.
Saturday’s headliner, The Twerzels, are also no strangers to Efest, having performed there in 2023 and getting the crowd on their feet. They’re a tribute to The Wurzels, playing all the old favourites and guaranteeing a good time.
Sunday headliners, Borrowed N Blue, are back by popular demand, they headlined on the Saturday last year so we thought they would be good to close Efest 2026. I hope you will be ready to dance the night away.
