The Long Road Festival's 2026 line-up has just become even more stacked, with ‘My Church’ hitmaker Maren Morris and UK country trailblazers The Shires joining Bailey Zimmerman on the impressive bill. The now-iconic country, Americana and roots extravaganza takes place in Rugby, Leicestershire across August 27th to 30th.

Morris appears as a UK festival exclusive, with the Texas native making her long-awaited return across The Pond. Morris will headline the Sunday, while The Shires - who have cemented themselves as one of the most successful UK acts to have emerged in the country music landscape - kick things off as the Friday headliners.

Bailey Zimmerman takes the helm on Saturday, with the ‘Religiously’ singer-songwriter set to serenade the Stanford Hall crowd with fan-favourites like ‘Fall in Love’ and ‘Where It Ends’.

Those lucky enough to get their hands on The Long Road Festival 2026 tickets - which are available to purchase now - will also get to witness Emmylou Harris on her European farewell tour, along with fellow country legend Steve Earle performing an acoustic set.

Alongside them, fans will be able to enjoy sets from beach-folk group, The 502s, Contemporary Christian and country star, Anne Wilson, Josh Ross, Shakey Graves, Kezia Gill, First Time Flyers, Dawson Anderson, Emily Scott Robinson, Twinnie and more

Excitingly, for the first time, Red Dog Saloon will be hosting a special BBQ restaurant at The Long Road Festival 2026. The popular Texas-inspired chain has become a staple in London, and we're looking forward to enjoying their Southern delights this August.
