Boutique festival Campo Sancho Festival has revealed the full lineup for its 2026 edition, returning to Walkern Hall, Hertfordshire from 23–26 July. Created by London party starters Sancho Panza, the festival enters its ninth year with a carefully curated programme spanning underground house, disco, Balearic, live performance and sound system culture.
Lovingly curated by founders Jimmy K-Tel and Matt Brown, Campo Sancho 2026 promises an immersive weekend of world-class headliners, new talent and fresh Upwoods curator collectives. Set within the grounds of Walkern Hall—an hour north of London—the festival continues to prioritise intimacy, musical depth and community over scale.
Headlining the weekend is Laurent Garnier, one of the true forefathers of modern electronic music. Garnier will deliver a special Campo-exclusive set, combining his emotionally charged underground house sound with a rare journey through disco. A one-off performance, it is set to be one of the standout moments of summer 2026.
Making their Campo Sancho debut, Sean Johnston and Tom Sharkett (A Love From Outer Space) bring their singular ALFOS vision to the Upwoods woodland stage for a special extended nine-hour live set on Saturday. The hypnotic journey will move through dub, psychedelic disco and deep house in Campo’s most atmospheric setting.
Also debuting at the festival are Decius, whose raw collision of techno, acid house and post-punk energy lands on the Middle Row stage, alongside Girls of the Internet Soundsystem, delivering a soulful live show informed by Northern Soul, sound system culture and Chicago house. Greg Wilson also joins the lineup, bringing Balearic-leaning selections as he celebrates 50 years behind the decks.
Further additions include rising London selector Ruby Savage, deep house stalwart Jimpster, and Italian disco favourite Tonno Disko, each adding to the weekend’s broad but cohesive musical spectrum.
Returning favourites play a central role in the 2026 programme. Luke Una returns as a Saturday night Snare and Hi Hat headliner following his acclaimed 2025 appearance, while Heidi Lawden, Dicky Trisco, and Tia Cousins reinforce Campo’s reputation for eclectic, high-energy sets. Pete Herbert brings his Music for Swimming Pools imprint to Upwoods on Sunday, joined by Nancy Noise, Phil Mison and Andy Wilson for a laid-back Balearic special.
Sancho Panza founders Jimmy K-Tel and Matt Brown top the bill with extended Sancho Panza DJ sets, alongside friends and family including Freddy Love, Si Kurridge & Mr Shiver, Anouck, Teo, Marco de Marseille, Junior and BeatBodger, delivering cross-genre selections of Balearic, house, funk, soul and reggae.
The festival unfolds across three distinct stages: Middle Row, the outdoor daytime stage rooted in Notting Hill Carnival sound system culture; Snare and Hi Hat, a high-intensity nighttime warehouse party in a field; and Upwoods, a hidden woodland dancefloor and cocktail bar. Together, they create an experience that feels less like a traditional festival and more like three interconnected worlds.
Campo Sancho remains a festival for all ages, with a full family programme including Panic Family Circus, Crafty Kids Factory, a kids-vs-adults Mega Dance Off, and the Teen Spirit clubhouse. These sit alongside wholesome food stalls, wellness offerings such as yoga and Tai Chi, massage therapies, and talks and demonstrations in the Village Hall.
As the founders put it: “2026 honestly feels like the best lineup we’ve ever planned. Campo is friends and friends of friends in a big warehouse party in a field- and that special Campo vibe shines brightly throughout.”
