Leading the first announcement of next year’s acts for Deer Shed Festival are mainstage headliners Sleaford Mods, Everything Everything and Say She She.
Meanwhile, the festival’s renowned comedy bill will be topped by acerbic stand up legend and friend of the festival, Stewart Lee and beloved British comedian and broadcaster Adam Buxton and his band with Rachel Parris also on the bill.
Held each year in the lovely setting of Baldersby Park near Thirsk, Deer Shed Festival’s co-founder Oliver Jones said he was “incredibly excited” about the line-up so far and delighted at ticket sales.
“We are incredibly excited to be able to share such great names for 2026.
"From returning favourites and friends of the festival like Everything Everything and Stewart Lee to some people who have been at the top of our hit list for years like Adam Buxton and Sleaford Mods.”
