This year, we’re welcoming three incredible acts to the Cornerstone stage:

Peatbog Faeries on Fri 31 Oct
From the Isle of Skye, the legendary Peatbog Faeries bring a whirlwind of sound that fuses traditional Celtic roots with dance, jazz, and world music influences. Their powerful instrumental sets are packed with rhythm, atmosphere and boundless energy – guaranteed to get feet tapping and hearts racing.

The Dreaming Spires on Fri 7 Nov
Following their standout appearance at Wood Fest, Oxfordshire favourites The Dreaming Spires return to Didcot for a special hometown show. Known for their warm harmonies and 60s-inspired rock sound, their music is full of nostalgia, melody, and modern storytelling. The evening also features a performance from poet Shaun Belcher, reading from his Thames Valley Texas collection.

Urban Folk Quartet on Sat 15 Nov
UFQ are back in town with their signature blend of folk, funk, Afrobeat, rock, and more. Touring with their seventh album, this multi-instrumental four-piece delivers a dynamic, groove-filled live show full of vibrant rhythms, technical brilliance, and infectious energy.
