The annual four days of live music at Englefield Estate in West Berkshire, put on by Heritage Live, announces its first headliner! General tickets on sale Friday 3rd October.

Richard Ashcroft is the first headliner for Heritage Live Festivals’ massive shows at Englefield Estate for 2026.

Fresh from a support slot on the most talked about tour of 2025 with Oasis, Ashcroft releases his new album ‘Lovin’ You’ on 10th October. On July 24th 2026 he will be joined in the grounds of the Berkshire estate by Shed Seven, Tom Meighan, and The Kairos.

Ashcroft is well known for his time with legendary indie-band ‘The Verve’ and their album ‘Urban Hymns,’ the UK’s 18th biggest selling album of all-time!

Shed Seven are a classic English indie band whose first album was released in 1994. They have a set full of big tunes including ‘Going For Gold’ and ‘Chasing Rainbows.’ They have six Top 10 albums with the most recent making it to the top of the album charts.

Tom Meighan is the former vocalist of the alternative rock powerhouse Kasabian. He cuts a controversial figure on the live music scene. Kasabian parted ways with him after he pleaded guilty to assaulting his fiancée Vikki Ager. He married her a year later and they are still together.

Liverpool band The Kairos have been releasing singles and EPs since 2019 and have been steadily building up a strong reputation on the live circuit.

Previous years of Heritage Live Festivals at Englefield Estate have hosted the likes of Hozier, The Beach Boys, Elbow, The Wombats, Madness and Culture Club.

Tickets will then go on general sale on Friday 3rd October at 9:30am from SeeTickets.com/HeritageLive.
