About Avonstock Festival

Avonstock Festival 2026 returns for its second year at Stratford Racecourse, Stratford-upon-Avon, with a tribute-music bill.

The first official Avonstock edition page appeared for 2025. It runs for two days: 11 and 12 September 2026.

Lineup and Programme

Announced acts include Total T-Rex, the Friday 11 September 2026 headliner, and Kevin Paul as Elvis, the Saturday 12 September 2026 headliner.

The official 2026 ticket page lists 13 tribute acts across Friday and Saturday. The genre spread runs through rock, pop, blues, folk-rock, reggae and ska.

The undercard is tribute-heavy. The Summer of Love Chill Out Zone adds the off-grid, solar-powered HorseBox Stage, where Hokum, Hooch & The Musical Horsebox are billed.
