Donny Fest announces biggest line up yet with Jamie Webster set to headline
DONNY FEST ’26
See full line up at the bottom…
Now firmly cemented as Yorkshire’s fastest-growing festival, DonnyFest ’26 returns on Saturday 6th June 2026 at Eco-Power Stadium, and this year’s lineup feels like a proper statement of intent. One day, all ages, 9,000+ heads through the gates and a full-on celebration of live music, DJs, scran and good times.
Topping the bill is Jamie Webster, a booking that makes total sense. Few artists do community, connection and mass singalongs quite like him and seeing those anthems ring out around a Doncaster stadium feels like one of those “this is what it’s all about” moments.
He’s backed up by a seriously solid undercard too, with Sea Girls, Ash, Lucy Spraggan and local artist ADMT giving the main stage real depth from top to bottom.
But Donny Fest has never been a one-stage and one-sound affair. The Acoustic Stage offers a change of pace with Newton Faulkner headlining in stripped-back mode, supported by Kyle Falconer (The View), Chris Helme (The Seahorses) and Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets). It’s the kind of lineup made for catching your breath, grabbing a pint and actually listening.
Crucially, Donny Fest continues to invest in the future of live music. The festival actively creates space for the best up-and-coming bands at grassroots level, handing main stage stadium slots to artists who are right on the brink. The Kairos, The Outcharms and Fever Dream will step onto the one of the biggest stage of their careers… So far. A moment they will grab with both hands. Each delivers the kind of performance that makes it clear this setting won’t feel new for long, this already feels like their level.
If guitars aren’t your thing all day, step over to the Dance Stage, headlined by Fergie (Ministry of Sound / hard house royalty) with Ultrabeat, Livin’ Joy and Kevin & Perry turning the tempo right up as the sun goes down.
What Donny Fest continues to nail is balance, it’s got the freedom and fun of a field festival, mixed with the scale, sound and spectacle of a stadium show. It works for families, groups of mates and serious music fans alike. 2026 looks set to pull in a slightly younger crowd without losing the all-ages spirit that’s got it this far.
As Festival Director Andy O’Grady puts it, this is their strongest lineup yet and you’d struggle to argue with that. DonnyFest ’26 feels bigger, bolder and more confident than ever.
Tickets are on sale now at £45, with prices rising once Tier One sells out.
