We're very proud to support local artists, and upcoming talent. Everyone on the bill is local, from rock heavyweights to New York Boogaloo to acoustic delights, we're non-stop for the whole day!
We're running two stages again for 2026 - the Swain Stage and Stage Too to keep the music moving.
Back AGAIN! Corsham's own Clones - Matt, Matt, Steve and Steve will be bringing CorFest to a close the only way they know how - an eclectic range of indie, rock and whatever else they fancy. With some special guests, and as the sun goes down, you'll jump up and down, sing along and leave wanting more!
The Shingalings are an 8-piece collective from Bristol who are inspired by dance music’s unique power to bring joy and togetherness to a field of complete strangers. With foundations in a shared love of golden-era Latin records, their music wraps vibrant and diverse dance grooves into a timeless yet fiercely contemporary sound.
Led by charismatic vocalist Drew Salida, the band has become a standout act known for their explosive life-affirming shows; featuring feel-good piano hooks, fiery horn lines, rapturous vocals, and, of course, those irresistible Latin beats.
BBC Introducing praised their “super infectious energy,” while BBC 6 Music’s Craig Charles featured one of their tracks in his ‘Best of the Year’ playlist, calling it “they’ve really nailed that ’60s New York Boogaloo sound.”
They played at The Pound last November - check it out below. We're STOKED to have them!! It's going to be massive!!
Four anaesthetists injecting life into your favorite covers! Yep, they're really all anaesthetists but will be doing the opposite of putting you to sleep. Pop on your dancing gown and see you down the front!
Awarded the Best Female Solo Artist at the 2025 Wiltshire Music Awards and Second Place Instrumentalist as a Highland Piper, Ruby Darbyshire is making real waves. And not just in this country, she's been busy sharing her talent all around the world.
Bringing her bagpipes, guitar and a raw talent, she'll be stunning us for the afternoon.
Check out this spellbinding performance at Wiltshire Music Centre - she's a unique talent, so glad to get her while we can still afford it!
We first saw Loophole at one of Riverbank's events in Chippenham. They've been playing together for years but are still only 16 & 17. They have a confidence and presence that belies their age.
With wailing guitar work from Harry and Will, rock solid and fluent rhythm section Louis and Bron and the dynamic vocals of Romey, they're exploring all sorts of music and are now releasing their own. Check them out below.
If we ask nicely, Harry might play the guitar behind his head again!
Insignia won the battle of the bands at Take The Stage last year and they're making a habit of it, making it through to play at the SemiFinals of The Underdog Battle of the Bands, at the Thekla!
We just loved their heavy alt rock and their presence so delighted to be able to offer them their first paid (because we always pay our artists) Festival gig!
Back after a great success last year, Corsham Windband are an institution in Corsham, with a whole host of alumni passing through their ranks over the years!
The wind band is celebrating 45 years as an Association. In this time the wind band has supported thousands of children and young people to play brass woodwind, percussion, string instruments and singing too. Dame Sonia Blandford DBE, the Windband founder and musical director, has been recognised for her services to social mobility in the honours list.
We're obviously delighted to have them back!
