🎸 McFly - Accommodation at Forest Live
Opening the High Lodge series, McFly bring their trademark high-energy pop rock to the woodland stage. Bursting onto the UK music scene in the early 2000s with infectious hits like Five Colours In Her Hair and All About You, McFly have become one of Britain’s most beloved bands, boasting seven UK number-one singles and millions of record sales throughout their career.
After years of topping charts and touring arenas — including a recent joint arena tour with fellow pop-rockers Busted — the band continues to thrill fans with both classic anthems and fresh material from recent albums like Power to Play. Camp at Forest Live 2026 on June 17th for an uplifting set that’s packed with singalongs, vivid guitar hooks and the kind of crowd-pleasing energy that’s perfect for a summer forest gig.
🎷 Nile Rodgers & CHIC - Forest Live Places to Stay
On the second night, legendary guitarist, songwriter and producer Nile Rodgers returns with his iconic band CHIC for a night of timeless funk, soul, and disco. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and multiple Grammy-winning force in music history, Rodgers co-founded CHIC and helped shape the sound of dance music for generations.
CHIC’s sophisticated grooves and irresistible rhythms powered classics such as Le Freak — one of Atlantic Records’ biggest-selling singles ever — and Good Times, a track that not only topped charts but helped pioneer the early days of hip-hop sampling. Nile’s influence stretches far beyond his own band: he has produced landmark records for artists from Diana Ross and Sister Sledge to Madonna, David Bowie and Daft Punk.
Come camping at Forest Live 2026 on June 18th for a blend of disco funk, soul-infused jams and irresistible danceable hits that bring the sunshine vibe to the forest floor.
🎧 Fatboy Slim - Stay at Forest Live
Friday at High Lodge belongs to Fatboy Slim, the Brighton-born DJ and producer credited with popularising the 1990s big beat genre. Known for electrifying his audiences with a blend of funk, hip-hop, acid house and rock influences, Fatboy Slim’s sets are a non-stop ride through iconic dancefloor anthems and exhilarating remixes.
Behind the stage name lies Norman Cook, a versatile musician whose productions have become staples of festival culture and club life for decades. From his early days with The Housemartins to pioneering solo work that redefined British dance music, if you camp on June 19th at Forest Live 2026, expect a show that’s as much about the communal party spirit as it is about the beats.
🎶 Snow Patrol - Roll up at Forest Live
Headlining Saturday is Snow Patrol, the Northern Irish–Scottish indie rock band known for their sweeping, emotive soundscapes and heartfelt lyrics. Formed in 1994, Snow Patrol emerged onto the global stage with anthemic tracks such as Run and Just Say Yes, but it was their monumental ballad Chasing Cars — one of the most-played songs on UK radio and a piece of rock history — that solidified their place in the modern rock canon.
Join our accommodation at Forest Live 2026 for lush instrumentation with deeply resonant storytelling. Their live performances are marked by communal singalongs and stirring emotional peaks — making them a perfect fit for a live woodland setting where music and nature converge.
🌴 UB40 ft. Ali Campbell - Accommodation at Forest Live
Closing out the High Lodge weekend is UB40 ft. Ali Campbell, bringing laid-back reggae groove and soulful melodies that stretch back to the band’s formation in Birmingham in 1978. With more than 50 singles in the UK charts and worldwide hits including Red Red Wine and Can’t Help Falling In Love, UB40 blended reggae, pop and dub influences to create some of the most enduring crossover classics in music history.
Ali Campbell’s signature vocals — rich, melodic and instantly recognisable — drive the band’s captivating sound, evoking sunny rhythms, chilled vibes, and singalong favourites that span generations of fans. Don't miss the opportunity to camp at Forest Live 2026 with a set that is bound to close the festival with warmth and familiarity, inviting audiences to sway under the trees as the sun sets.
