This year, from Tuesday 29th to Thursday 31st July, our music and chat stage will be packed with talent from across Hampshire and beyond. Whether you’re into indie rock, country, jazz or acoustic soul, we’ve got something to keep your toes tapping all day long! We’re thrilled to host over 30 incredible acts, ranging from seasoned performers to exciting up-and-coming local artists. Expect soulful vocals, foot-stomping beats and the kind of feel-good atmosphere only live music can bring.

Among the many highlights are Paddy’s Dog, who will be kicking things off with some Irish folk – perfect for starting your day with energy and rhythm. Country lovers won’t want to miss The Bardsteads, a trio of cowboys bringing country rock vibes to the showground. For fans of something a little louder, Psychedelic Skies promise a grungy blend of indie rock that’ll wake up even the sleepiest show-goer.

On Wednesday, you can catch acts Tannersbrook, Empty Frets and Tired Less spanning genres like indie, alt-country, rock and pop! Thursday closes with a bang, featuring energetic sets from acts like RiotWeekend, an alt-rock/pop punk group with catchy riffs and a yin-and-yang of soft and heavy vocals. They’ll be followed by the Dodgy Jammers, closing out the Show with their relaxed 60s & 70s pop music.

We’ve created this year’s line-up with variety in mind – so whether you’re just venturing into The Show for the day, need an escape from all the equine action, or fancy a boogie while your friends explore elsewhere, there’s always something worth stopping for. And the best part? All performances are included with your ticket to the New Forest Show!

The full list of performers, including times and stage locations, is available here. You can find timetables for many events across the show now live on our Timetables page.
