The inaugural Blenheim Palace Festival has just added another major name to its already star-studded bill, with Mimi Webb confirmed as a special guest for Katy Perry on Wednesday, 1 July 2026.
Set within one of Britain’s most iconic cultural landmarks, the festival is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about live music events of the summer.
Mimi Webb Joins a World-Class Line-Up
Fast-rising UK pop star Mimi Webb continues her meteoric ascent, joining an already impressive roster of global talent. Known for her emotionally charged pop anthems and powerhouse vocals, Webb has built a reputation for delivering music that resonates—whether you’re healing from heartbreak or dancing through it.
Her breakout came with the 2021 EP Seven Shades of Heartbreak, followed by her debut album Amelia in 2023, which landed a Top 5 spot on the UK Albums Chart. Since then, she’s performed on major global platforms including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and even appeared in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.
With over a billion streams worldwide and tour support slots alongside acts like Jonas Brothers, Tate McRae, and Benson Boone, Webb’s inclusion signals just how big this festival is aiming to be.
A Landmark Festival at Blenheim Palace
Taking place across five days in June and July 2026, the Blenheim Palace setting offers a truly unique backdrop. A UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its baroque architecture, expansive gardens, and historic significance, it brings a sense of grandeur rarely matched by modern festival venues.
The festival promises more than just music—it’s positioned as a full cultural experience blending heritage, art, and world-class live performances.
Headliners and What to Expect
Alongside Katy Perry and Mimi Webb, the debut edition boasts an eclectic mix of global stars, including:
- Teddy Swims, the Grammy-nominated vocal powerhouse
- Lauren Spencer Smith, appearing as a special guest
- Pete Tong presenting his Ibiza Classics set
Two additional headline acts are still to be announced, adding even more anticipation around the event.
VIP Experiences and Luxury Hospitality
Beyond the music, Blenheim Palace Festival is leaning heavily into premium experiences. Attendees can elevate their visit with exclusive packages such as:
- The Grand Banquet VIP Dining Experience – featuring fine dining and front-of-stage access
- Access to the palace’s stunning Orangery
- Curated picnic experiences from Fortnum & Mason, perfect for pre-show relaxation
This focus on luxury sets the festival apart, blending high-end hospitality with live entertainment in a way rarely seen in the UK festival scene.
A New Era for UK Festivals
The event is the result of a collaboration between Cuffe & Taylor (a Live Nation company) and MARI Arts & Entertainment, signalling serious industry backing and ambition.
With its combination of global talent, historic surroundings, and elevated experiences, Blenheim Palace Festival is aiming to redefine what a UK music festival can be.
