The 2026 festival has finished. Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts’ planned concert on 3 July was subsequently cancelled, as recorded by Ticketmaster. The festival’s official website now lists five headline performances from its debut year and is looking ahead to 2027. This article records the original December 2025 announcement, with that change made clear.
Blenheim Palace Festival named Alanis Morissette as the sixth and final headliner in its original announcement for the debut summer series. She was announced for the Great Court at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock on Sunday 28 June 2026, with special guests Skunk Anansie.
The original six-night bill also included Katy Perry, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, Michael Bublé, Teddy Swims and Pete Tong Ibiza Classics. Following the cancellation of Neil Young’s date, the organiser’s account of the inaugural festival identifies the other five as its 2026 headliners.
The dates in the original 2026 announcement
- Saturday 27 June: Pete Tong Ibiza Classics with The Essential Orchestra; Sarah Story and Danny Rampling were also announced.
- Sunday 28 June: Alanis Morissette, with Skunk Anansie.
- Tuesday 30 June: Teddy Swims, with Lauren Spencer Smith.
- Wednesday 1 July: Katy Perry.
- Friday 3 July — cancelled: Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, with Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Charlie Sexton, had been announced for this date.
- Saturday 4 July: Michael Bublé.
These are historical dates, not upcoming performances. The cancelled 3 July show should not be counted as a concert that took place.
Alanis Morissette’s place on the bill
Morissette is a seven-time Grammy winner, according to the Recording Academy. Her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill featured “You Oughta Know”, “Hand in My Pocket” and “Ironic”. The Woodstock appearance paired her with British rock band Skunk Anansie.
Tickets and future festival information
The ticket announcement reported here was for 9am on Friday 12 December 2025. It is not a current on-sale date.
As checked on 16 October 2026, the organiser’s website says the festival will return in summer 2027, with dates, artists and ticket details still to be announced. Follow the official festival website for those announcements.
For a future booking, use the organiser’s event-specific travel and accessibility information. Entrance arrangements, parking, viewing areas and assistance provisions should be checked for the chosen event rather than inferred from this old preview.
Update, 16 October 2026: this archive article has been amended to record the cancellation of Neil Young’s 3 July show, distinguish the original six-night announcement from the five headliners subsequently listed by the organiser, and clarify the year of the ticket on-sale date. The original publication date is retained.
