Todd in the Hole Festival 2026 delivered its most spectacular event to date, welcoming more than 15,000 music and festival lovers to Todds Green, Stevenage, for a sun-soaked weekend of live music, family entertainment and unforgettable experiences. Saturday proved to be the festival's busiest day ever, with record-breaking attendance helping make this year's event the biggest in its history.

Across three incredible days, festivalgoers enjoyed a packed programme of live entertainment, alongside a vintage funfair, delicious street food, and camping and glamping allowing guests to make a full weekend of the festival.

The festival opened on Friday with high-energy performances from tribute acts celebrating The Rolling Stones, Sam Fender and George Michael, while The Woods Stage kept the party going with Jilted Generation, a tribute to The Prodigy. Saturday's Main Stage saw crowd-pleasing performances celebrating Kylie, Guns N' Roses, Duran Duran, Bon Jovi and Queen, before Sunday closed the festival in style with returning headliners Rik Parfitt Jnr &The RPJ Band, alongside tributes to Elvis, Celine Dion, Nile Rodgers & Chic, and a Spice Girls tribute.

Away from the Main Stage, Todd in the Hole continued to champion local talent across The Woods, Vincent and Buskers stages, with standout performances from Sham Radio, The Brit Pop Boys, Max Ryan, The Dirty Half Hundred, Nashville Nights Band, Mark Sullivan and many more. The Dance Den, hosted by Paul Phono, showcased emerging local DJs, while the Cabaret Stage, hosted by Magenta Slipperz, provided a vibrant platform for Hertfordshire's performers.

Families were entertained throughout the weekend in Tiny T's Kids Arena, where Stevenage pantomime favourite Aidan O'Neill hosted an action-packed programme featuring storytelling, puppet walkabouts, arts and crafts, mad science shows, yoga, singalongs and interactive family entertainment.

Todd in the Hole also reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the local community by proudly partnering with Garden House Hospice Care throughout this year's festival.

Festival co-founder David Nye said:

"We're absolutely overwhelmed by the incredible turnout and atmosphere this year. Seeing record numbers through the gates on Saturday was a real milestone for the festival. From the amazing live music to the vintage funfair, camping and glamping, and everything in between, it's been fantastic to see so many people enjoying everything Todd in the Hole has to offer. A huge thank you goes to our incredible team, volunteers, artists and everyone who came along to support us. We're already planning even bigger things for Todd in the Hole 2027."
