The first acts for 2027 are here
Plumpton Revival 2027
7-8 August 2027 · Plumpton Racecourse
First headliner
Our first headliner: Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre Band.
The man who played the Aqualung riff is coming to Plumpton. Jethro Tull’s guitarist of 43 years leads our first 2027 headliner - at the top of a line-up now 23 acts strong across blues, rock, soul and Americana, from a Status Quo experience and a globe-trotting Led Zeppelin tribute to the favourites you voted back.
And there’s still more to come - more names, more headliners.
