North Yorkshire’s top annual outdoor music festival has announced further acts for the 2026 edition.

An independent and family-owned enterprise since its inception back in 2010, Deer Shed Festival at Topcliffe near Thirsk now attracts an annual audience of 10,000.

Organisers had previously revealed a good chunk of next summer's bill at Baldersby Park to great excitement among indie and alt music fans, including the headliners, with names such as Sleaford Mods, Say She She, Everything Everything, The Twilight Sad, Jasmine 4.T, Fat Dog and more.

Following last year’s sell-out 15th anniversary celebration featuring old friends and new; Deer Shed are looking to the future of music with a diverse showcase of emergent and rising acts from across the musical spectrum

Megan Evans, Deer Shed Festival Director said: "We’re thrilled to be announcing even more music for this year’s Deer Shed.

"Curating our music line-up is one of my favourite parts of the job, and you’ll never see an artist at Deer Shed that we haven’t personally been to see beforehand.

"I’m so excited about this group of artists and can’t wait for our audience to see them in the park this year.

"We’ve plenty more in store including comedy, sport, arts and some truly mind-boggling labyrinthine installations, so keep your eyes and ears peeled.”

Not just known for its incredible live music line-ups year on year, Deer Shed is renowned for its comedy.

Details on who will be joining previously announced comedy headliners comedy icon Stewart Lee, beloved comedian and broadcaster Adam Buxton and award-winning satirist and Mash Report Star Rachel Parris will be announced shortly.

Deer Shed will also be sharing further details on its unique programme of Sport, Cinema, Theatre and Literary and Performance Arts programmes soon, as well as more information about this year’s festival theme, Into The Labyrinth, and the sprawling maze soon to be erected in Baldersby Park; the festival’s most ambitious build to date.
