🎸⚑ Coming to Moon Dance 2026 – Higgs and The Bosuns ⚑🎸

Some bands politely ask for your attention.

Higgs and The Bosuns have other ideas.

Armed with infectious hooks, driving rhythms and enough energy to shake the dust off the festival field, they're on a mission to make sure you remember their set long after they've left the stage.

Their own description suggests they'll "grab you by the throat and force you to listen" – but we prefer to think of it as delivering the kind of performance that's impossible to ignore.

Expect big sounds, memorable songs and a band that refuses to blend into the background.

🎺🎢 Coming to Moon Dance 2026 – Monkey Trap 🎢🎺

The band describe themselves as "4 old codgers who play together", but don't let that fool you. These experienced musicians know exactly how to entertain a crowd and deliver the kind of feel-good set that summer festivals are made for.

Whether you're dancing at the front, singing along with friends or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Monkey Trap will bring plenty of energy and fun to the day.

πŸŽΆπŸŒ™ Coming to Moon Dance 2026 – Old Mercia πŸŒ™πŸŽΆ

We're delighted to welcome Old Mercia to the Moon Dance stage this July.

This talented five-piece folk-indie band may now call Royal Tunbridge Wells home, but their roots lie in Lichfield, a city in the heart of the ancient kingdom of Mercia.

Having somehow all found themselves living near each other once again, they did what musicians do best – they got the band back together.

Blending folk influences with indie energy, Old Mercia create the kind of music that feels perfectly suited to a summer festival afternoon. Whether you're discovering them for the first time or already a fan, they're guaranteed to be a highlight of the day.
