Hampton Court Palace Festival announces first wave of unmissable acts for 2027

Author Benedetta Baldin - 2.11.2026

Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian, The Corrs, Alison Moyet and the Kaiser Chiefs are the first artists announced for 2027’s Hampton Court Palace Festival. Taking place between 15th – 27th  June 2027, the festival will once again bring live music to the historic grounds of the famous Tudor Palace. Pre-sale for Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian, The Corrs, Alison Moyet and the Kaiser Chiefs opens on Thursday 5 November, with general sale from Friday 6 November at hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com More artists will be announced soon.

Following the release of the acclaimed ‘Robert Plant’s Saving Grace: All That Glitters…’EP last month and fresh back from a run of US dates Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian are confirmed to appear at Hampton Court Palace Festival on Saturday 19 June. Formed in 2019, this group of distinguished musicians – vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown – explore the evolution of roots music both vintage and modern.  The band members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music – blues, folk, gospel, country, and the sounds that lay in between. Robert Plant was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Americana Music Association Awards.

Alison Moyet will perform at Hampton Court Palace Festival on Tuesday 22 June.
Alison started off as a punk, became one half of iconic synth-pop duo Yazoo, and released her groundbreaking #1 debut solo album, “Alf” – all by the age of 23. She’s released ten solo studio albums, and her acclaim has included three BRIT Awards, the Icon Award at the Silver Clef Awards, a BASCA Gold Badge from the Ivors Academy, and a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. In 2024, Alison marked 40 years as a solo artist with the release of the Top 10 album “Key”, and launched her podcast, The Alison Moyet Podcast, which topped both UK and International music podcast charts. She has continued to perform to audiences around the world, with extensive touring throughout 2025 and 2026. Widely regarded as one of the UK’s most celebrated and distinctive voices, Alison will present a set selected of fan favourites, singles and deep cuts from her eclectic catalogue spanning a 45-year recording career.

Irish pop icons The Corrs will take to the Hampton Court Palace Festival stage on Wednesday 23 June for their only London show of summer 2027. The multi-million-selling sibling quartet, comprising Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim Corr, have sold over 40 million albums worldwide with their seamless blend of pop rock, lush harmonies and Celtic folk trimmings. With a career spanning more than three decades, the band have enjoyed huge international success with hits including “Breathless”, “Runaway” and “What Can I Do”. Audiences can look forward to an unforgettable evening of much-loved classics from their incredible back catalogue.

Finally, British indie rock favourites Kaiser Chiefs will bring their electrifying live show to Hampton Court Palace Festival on Saturday 26 June. Since forming in Leeds in 2000, the band, led by charismatic frontman Ricky Wilson, have established themselves as one of Britain’s most successful indie rock acts, selling over 8 million albums worldwide. Their impressive career has seen them release eight studio albums, including the Mercury Prize-nominated debut “Employment”, achieve multiple UK number ones and collect three BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello Award. Known for their infectious energy and crowd-pleasing anthems, Kaiser Chiefs will undoubtedly deliver a hit-packed set featuring classics such as “Ruby”, “I Predict A Riot”, “Oh My God” and “Everyday I Love You Less and Less”.

Now in its 32nd year, Hampton Court Palace Festival is a highlight of the summer calendar, bringing a series of performances by world-renowned artists to the truly unique setting of Base Court, the palace’s spine-tinglingly intimate Tudor courtyard. 

Before the music begins, audiences can soak up the atmosphere in the beautiful East Front Gardens, where the pre-concert picnic is a much-loved festival tradition. Alongside mouthwatering street food, guests can make their evening extra special with a range of festival extras, including the King’s VIP Dining Experience in the State Apartments, exclusive access to the Queen’s Garden enclosure, a private Fountain-side Pergola, or a ready-prepared Garden Picnic or Sharing Platter from British Fine Foods.

The Hampton Court Palace Festival concert series is produced in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that cares for Hampton Court Palace, one of Britain’s most celebrated royal residences. Set within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, the palace is surrounded by acres of formal gardens and royal parkland, offering a unique setting for live music. Despite this sense of escape, the palace is easy to reach, with Hampton Court railway station a short walk away, bus routes from Richmond and Kingston, and public riverboat services running in summer.
