News

Over the years, and this – our final year being no exception, we have welcomed some of the finest acts in the industry to our stage. Looking at the nominees for this year’s UK Blues Federation awards, we are proud to say these acts have all performed at Linton, many of them several times! And what a treat it’s been.

Congratulations to them all!

There’s been a few tweaks and now playing at Linton Festival…….

Alastair Greene! From Austin, Texas, Alastair serves up blues-soaked rock with big riffs, gritty vocals and plenty of guitar firepower. He’s toured the world, played with the Alan Parsons Live Project and released a string of acclaimed albums on Ruf Records. You can expect swampy grooves, soaring solos and proper modern blues-rock energy.

“Alastair Greene is killing it! He is singing great, writing great, he is at the height of his powers.” — Joe Bonamassa

The wait is over… here’s the line-up for Linton Festival 2026!

2026 marks 25 incredible years of LF and we’ve built a fitting finale to celebrate a quarter-century of unforgettable performances.

Linton Festival leaves a legacy built on a passion for music, beer and charity, and this year will be the best EVER!!

As many of you know, we’re taking a break this summer — but we’ll be back next year, and it’s going to be BIG!

Save the dates: 19th, 20th & 21st June 2026

After 20+ amazing years, this will be the final Linton Festival to be hosted at our favourite pub, The Alma Inn. So, we’re planning to make it our best one ever — and we’d love your help!

Got suggestions for artists, food, the format, or anything else you’d love to see? Drop us a comment below or get in touch at info@lintonfestival.org

Ticket info coming soon — but for now, mark your calendars! Let’s make our last hurrah at The Alma one to remember. ❤️

The Linton Festival Committee would like to extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended the 2024 festival. The event was a resounding success, filled with incredible live music, delicious local food, and the finest ales and ciders. We are grateful for your ongoing support, which has made Linton Festival a highlight of the summer season.

Unfortunately, we must announce that Linton Festival will not take place in 2025. This decision comes after discussions with the local landowner who generously provides the fields for our camping facilities. The land needs to rest for a year, which will also provide an improved camping experience for you. As camping has become an integral part of the festival experience, the event cannot go ahead without it. Despite exploring other options, we were unable to find a suitable alternative.

Whilst this news may be disappointing, we are already turning our attention to 2026. The committee is hard at work planning a refreshed and dynamic festival that promises to be our best yet. Scheduled for the weekend of June 19th – 21st, 2026, the next Linton Festival will feature an exciting and dynamic line-up of artists.

As part of our commitment to revitalising the festival, we will be actively seeking feedback and suggestions from our loyal attendees over the coming months.

We look forward to sharing more with you soon by way of various activities and can’t wait to welcome everyone back for an unforgettable Linton Festival in 2026.

Mark Your Calendars: Linton Festival – June 19th to 21st, 2026

The primary goal of Linton Festival is to raise money for charity. This year, we are proud to announce we have donated a total of £10,000 to local organisations!!!
On Tuesday, we were joined by representatives from our chosen charities at The Alma to hand over their cheques.

These included:
Help Appeal – County Air Ambulance Trust,
Hope Support Services,
Hope for Tomorrow,
Parkinson’s UK,
Herefordshire Mind and more.

Thanks to some of our key sponsors:
Moat contracting,
Westons Cider
and Edge Networks for making the presentations.

We can’t thank everyone who is involved with Linton Festival enough. No matter what capacity that’s in – whether it be festival goer, artist, committee member, helper, supplier etc etc….all of you contribute to making

the event the success it is which means we are able to give away so much money to some incredible organisations who vitally need it.
Please keep supporting us and we promise to keep bringing you great music and beer.
We combined the evening with our sister festival, Linton Summer Sessions, who donated £1,500 from the proceeds of their event in September to local organisations including Linton Village Hall and PTFA Gorsley Goffs

School, both who have some urgent projects involving floors and roofs in much need of funds. Again, thanks to all involved in this event.
Money like this makes a big difference. Presentations were made by sponsors Moat contracting and Naylor Powell Estate Agents.

So that’s a wrap for this year.

Date for you Diary: Linton Festival will be held on 5th – 7th July next year….we’ll let you know when tickets are available!

“On behalf of Alzheimer’s Research UK I would like to thank Linton Festival for their very generous donation to the vital work we are doing.” #ForACure

On the 4th October 2022 we invited representatives from our chosen charities to an evening at The Alma where we presented them with donations from money we raised at our 20th Anniversary of Linton Festival. We donated £16,000 in total!

We couldn’t have done that without the support of everyone including our sponsors, suppliers, volunteers, bands and of course you, our festival goers – so a huge thank you to you all. It was also an evening to celebrate the money raised for charity by our sister event – Linton Summer Sessions – which was held in September. Together we were delighted to present cheques, pictured here (click on heading “Charity Night 2022” to see gallery of images) with some of our key sponsors Moat Contracting, Naylor Powell Estate Agents and Edge Networks, to:
