On Monday 7th September, Swindon Shuffle kicked off its 20th anniversary with its now legendary Shuffle Music Quiz! Entering the unchartered waters of a seven day Shuffle!

2026 is a big year for Swindon Shuffle!

This event has been championing original music and supporting live music venues since 2007! This year is gonna be epic!

As expected, the 20th anniversary is a bit of a monster and it has been a lot of work to pull together the longest Shuffle ever.

The 20th anniversary line-up is out, with an expanded week long event. The Music Quiz launched everything on Monday at The Beehive Swindon, followed by the awesome Jazz Knights session on Tuesday at event newcomer The Royal Oak Old Town, followed by an incredible extra night of music on Wednesday at The Pulpit where The Lost Trades played a very special set.

Thursday through to Sunday it is more familiar, starting with The Hop Inn, The Pulpit, The Victoria, The Castle Old Town Swindon and The Beehive as normal. Plus, expect extra fringe events at Rudi’s Bar, Sonnys, Prospect Hospice – Books and Media and a chill out ambient session at The Hop.

Event pages with breakdowns will be up soon, but if you cant wait to plan fully, visit one of the venues over the weekend. Or alternatively, come and see us at the Street Food Festival on Sunday on Wood Street and pick up a guide with clash-finder. We will have a stage with some great music from 1pm until 5pm, along with some new T-Shirt designs and tote bags!

This epic live music event has been thanks to the amazing UK Research and Innovation for their ongoing support.
