Moovin Festival announces Groove Armada, 2manydjs, Gilles Peterson and more for 2026

Moovin Festival has revealed its first wave of artists for 2026, with Groove Armada, 2manydjs and Gilles Peterson set to headline the boutique UK festival.

Taking place at Whitebottom Farm in Stockport from June 12–14, 2026, the independent festival will also feature Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble), Nightmares On Wax, Quantic, Dan Shake, Porij, Mungo’s Hi-Fi and Chali 2na, alongside a stacked bill of DJs and live acts spanning house, disco, jungle, hip-hop and global sounds.

Manchester legends Mike Pickering and Graeme Park will appear alongside DJ Paulette, K-Klass and Justin Robertson, while live highlights include Ozric Tentacles, Galliano and DRS.

Set in the lush Etherow Country Park, just outside Manchester, Moovin’s Whitebottom Farm site blends intimate farmyard vibes with festival freedom. The converted barn main stage, lakes, tree canopies and dramatic gorge entrance give the weekend a secluded, almost secret-party feel, while straw bales, open-air stages and boutique production keep the focus squarely on the music.

More names are set to be announced in the coming months and tickets are available here
