Who's playing Hampton Court Palace Festival 2027?

Four very different acts, one shared selling point: organisers say Hampton Court is the only place to catch any of them in London next summer. More names are due to be added soon.

Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian – Saturday 19 June

The Led Zeppelin legend arrives fresh from a run of US dates and the release of the EP Robert Plant's Saving Grace: All That Glitters…. Saving Grace formed in 2019 and pairs Plant with vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.

Expect blues, folk, gospel and country, old and new, rather than a Zeppelin greatest-hits night. Plant also picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Americana Music Association Awards.

Alison Moyet – Tuesday 22 June

Punk, one half of synth-pop pioneers Yazoo, then a number one debut solo album in Alf – Moyet had done the lot by 23. Since then she's released ten solo studio albums, won three BRIT Awards and earned a Grammy nomination.

Her 2024 album Key marked 40 years as a solo artist and went Top 10. At Hampton Court she'll mix singles, fan favourites and deep cuts from a 45-year recording career.

The Corrs – Wednesday 23 June

This is The Corrs' only London show of summer 2027. Siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim Corr have sold more than 40 million albums with their mix of pop rock, close harmonies and Celtic folk. Three decades on, expect a night built around the big ones: "Breathless", "Runaway" and "What Can I Do".

Kaiser Chiefs – Saturday 26 June

The Leeds indie heroes, fronted by Ricky Wilson since forming in 2000, close out the first wave. They've sold over 8 million albums across eight studio records, starting with the Mercury-nominated Employment, and collected three BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello along the way.

A singalong is guaranteed: "Ruby", "I Predict A Riot", "Oh My God" and "Everyday I Love You Less and Less" should all get an airing.

What makes Hampton Court Palace Festival different?

Now in its 32nd year, the festival is produced with Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that looks after the palace. Gigs take place in Base Court, an intimate Tudor courtyard that feels nothing like a field or an arena.

The pre-show picnic in the East Front Gardens is a festival tradition, with street food on site. Paid extras include the King's VIP Dining Experience in the State Apartments, access to the Queen's Garden enclosure, a private Fountain-side Pergola, and ready-made picnics or sharing platters from British Fine Foods.

How do you get to Hampton Court Palace Festival?

Hampton Court railway station is a short walk from the palace. Buses run from Richmond and Kingston, and public riverboats operate on the Thames in summer.

When do Hampton Court Palace Festival 2027 tickets go on sale?

Pre-sale opens Thursday 5 November and general sale starts Friday 6 November. Tickets are sold for each concert individually through the official festival website at hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com.

Base Court is a small space and these are big names, so if one of these nights has your name on it, don't sit on it. Keep an eye on UKFG for the next line-up announcement.
