Reef announced as part of Sunshine Festival 2026 line-up

Sunshine Festival has confirmed that British rock band Reef will take to the main stage in August 2026, as part of the festival's biggest line-up to date. Famed for their era-defining hit "Place Your Hands", Reef will headline a prime slot during the four-day family-friendly event held annually in Upton-upon-Severn.

Festival Director Steve Cass said: "We're incredibly proud to be bringing Reef to Worcestershire for Sunshine Festival 2026. They are one of the true standouts of British rock, and their live shows are electric - full of energy, nostalgia, and massive crowd singalongs. For many of our festivalgoers, Reef's music is the soundtrack to their youth. We know this performance will be one of those spine-tingling moments that people talk about long after the summer ends."

Sunshine Festival 2026 will take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, welcoming over 12,000 attendees across four days.
