Fans who want to see Ronan Keating, Jessie J and James Morrison perform in Cheshire next month are being urged to book now before they miss out.
Organisers of Deva Fest, the award-winning family festival at Cholmondeley Castle Gardens in Cheshire, say they are set to sell out its 2026 event.
Fewer than 700 tickets remain ahead of the four-day festival running from 6 to 9 August.
The festival, twice named Visit Cheshire Event or Festival of the Year and recognised by National Geographic as one of the UK’s best summer festivals for families, will see Irish pop icon Ronan Keating headline on Saturday, with Price Tag singer Jessie J closing the festival on Sunday and BRIT Award-winning singer-songwriter James Morrison opening proceedings on Friday night.
Organisers say demand this year has outstripped previous editions, driven by an expanded offering that includes six stages of live music, comedy and family entertainment, fairground rides included in admission, and upgraded toilets available throughout the main festival arena.
Festival founder Phil Marston said the 2026 line-up marked a new high point for the event. “This is without doubt our strongest line-up to date,” he said. “We have worked hard to create an experience where families and friends can enjoy world-class music alongside unique entertainment across the site.”
Steven Hesketh, founder of SAVVY Collective, whose events arm, SAVVY Events, designs, produces and delivers distinctive hospitality-led experiences bringing places to life and creating measurable commercial return, said the strength of ticket sales reflected Deva Fest’s growing standing among UK family festivals.
“Deva Fest has grown into one of the UK’s leading family festivals,” he said. “With tickets nearly sold out, now is the time to book. It is the perfect summer staycation with something for everyone.”
Ronan’s headline appearance comes shortly after Boyzone’s two sold-out farewell shows at Emirates Stadium in June, billed as One For The Road, which marked the band’s biggest ever headline performances. Speaking ahead of his Deva Fest set, Keating said he was looking forward to another summer of outdoor performing. “It’s always a pleasure to perform outdoors through the summer in the UK,” he said. “Let’s hope for some great weather and we’ll have a blast.”
With capacity limited and demand at an all-time high, organisers are urging fans to book before the festival sells out completely.
