MOOVIN FESTIVAL 2026 RETURNS WITH GROOVE ARMADA, 2MANYDJS AND A STACKED LINEUP

Moovin Festival returns to Whitebottom Farm on 12–14 June 2026 with a heavyweight, eclectic phase one lineup that proves you don't need arena-sized capacity to deliver arena-sized moments. Two former Moovin headliners unite at the top of the bill as Groove Armada and 2manydjs return together to headline what promises to be one of the standout sessions of the weekend, performing DJ sets inside the unique Barn Stage, a converted cow barn transformed this year into "the ultimate rave den". The rest of the bill runs deep with Gilles Peterson, Nightmares On Wax and Quantic bringing colour, soul and global rhythm, while Danilo Plessow, a selector's selector revered by diggers worldwide, marks a huge moment for lovers of deep, soulful and beautifully curated house music. Add Haçienda legends Mike Pickering & Graeme Park, live acts including Chali 2na with a brand-new full band, Galliano, Ozric Tentacles and Mungo's Hi-Fi, plus drum & bass from Micky Finn, Nicky Blackmarket and Brockie.

Tucked away in the lush greenery of Etherow Country Park in Stockport, Moovin is a proudly independent boutique festival renowned for one of the friendliest crowds around and genuine value for money including £5 pints. Set on a cow farm just 30 minutes from Manchester yet feeling worlds away, it's a lovingly counter-culture gathering where the main stage is a converted barn, straw bales double as dancefloor seating and festival-goers enter through a dramatic gorge. No VIP areas, no corporate gloss, just cutting-edge sound systems, holistic healing, yoga, circus performers and warm crowds wrapped in intentionally limited capacity that keeps the atmosphere intimate and inclusive. Beyond the names, Moovin's real magic lies in discovery, championing emerging talent alongside established icons across five stages.
