Organisers have announced the 2026 lineup for the Upton Country Park Festival in Poole, Dorset, which will feature tribute acts for major stars like Coldplay and Beyoncé. The event will take place on July 3 and July 4, 2026, and is expected to attract large crowds to the park over the weekend.

The first night of the festival is called Ladies Night and will focus on modern pop music. Visitors can expect to see tribute performances for artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry on July 3, 2026.

The following day is themed as a Family Singalong and features music from groups like Take That and The Killers. Organisers at Bearfoot Productions Ltd say attendees are allowed to bring their own food and drink to the park, which is a unique rule for a music festival of this size.

Local roads like the A35 and A350 are expected to be busier than usual as thousands of people travel to the event. The festival weekend will also include a separate event called Country In The Park on July 5, 2026.

Tickets for the weekend are currently on sale for those wishing to attend. Saturday is expected to be a particularly popular day for families and residents looking for local entertainment in the community.
