Kaiser Chiefs are the first act to be confirmed for Wychwood Festival 2026.
The Oh My God rockers will top the bill at the festival, which takes place on Cheltenham Racecourse from 29th - 31st May next year- bringing 20 years worth of hits to the main stage on Saturday.
Speaking about the announcement, frontman Ricky Wilson said: "Really looking forward to playing Wychwood next summer. Any festival that puts us top of the bill must have excellent taste so it bodes well. The summer is when we thrive, we are good at festivals and if you haven’t seen us before it’s a strong recommend. If you have seen us before then we hope to see you”
