In between transporting Heras fencing and bales of hay and rounding up the final few cows to send on their summer holidays, head honcho Pete Noz very kindly made time to sit down with us to go over his top picks for this year’s Into the Valley. Now, a man who’s been in the festival business for over two decades must know his stuff, so if you’re feeling bewildered looking over the – quite frankly stunning – line-up, take a peek at the list below.
- Mungo’s Hi-Fi ft. Gardna. Two Farm festival favourites, together on the Orchard Stage. How can you go wrong? Expect a celebration of soundsystem culture sure to lift your spirits from festival legends Mungo’s Hi-Fi, alongside impeccable mic skills from Bristol boy Gardna. Check out his latest single on YouTube above.
- Lens. Head on down to our brand-new-for-2026 drum ‘n’ bass arena Haywire to witness the signature wild double-drops and genre-spanning selections which have made a name for Lens since she first emerged onto the scene in 2020.
- Clearwater Creedence Revival. For something a bit different, make your way to the Orchard Stage for a tribute to the iconic American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Expect raw rock ‘n’ roll energy from these masters of the stage.
- Dub Pistols. It wouldn’t be a festival on the Farm without this renegade crew – get bopping and skanking to the sounds of the finest big beat revival bands of the 1990s.
- Eva Lazarus. If silken vocals and major stage presence are your thing, look no further than Eva Lazarus. This genre-defying maven leaps between hip-hop, reggae, and drum ‘n’ bass, to name but a few, and she’ll be here in the Valley to entertain you this summer.
- Nuala. Catch Leicester-born singer-songwriter Nuala before she explodes. Her soulful vocals and catchy folk and reggae-inspired melodies have seen her perform on festival stages and at venues across the UK and beyond: this is only the beginning.
- Big Band of Boom. This ten-piece juggernaut will redefine everything you thought you knew about heavy guitars and big-band brass! Be ready to have your minds blown and your eardrums knocked for six.
- Rub a Dub Pub Club. Prepare to bounce along to the infectious tunes of this eleven-piece powerhouse from Kidderminster, who were brought together through a love of ska, parties and each other!
- Kenny Ken. Kenny has been travelling the world playing the tunes he loves since the late eighties. Beginning in house and techno, Kenny now puts all his success down to jungle and drum ‘n’ bass: whatever he’s playing, you know you’re in for a good time.
- Sonny Wharton. And finally – of course we’ve got to give a shout out to our main man Sonny. A firm fixture in the house and techno scene – as well as on the Farm – Sonny has been named producer of the year by the likes of Fatboy Slim.
There you have it – a one-stop-shop for a good time at Into the Valley. But that’s just a tiny fraction of the acts performing across all the stages this year – if in doubt, go for a wander and see where your feet take you: you might just discover your favourite new band…
