Live in Melbourne Hall: Lightning Seeds, Maximo Park, LaagrijdenLive in Melbourne Hall: Lightning Seeds, Maximo Park, Laagrijden

 Live At Melbourne Hall gets summer underway with a three-day festival in a brand-new, open-air site at the South Derbyshire stately home. Taking place 24–26 July, Crow Park at Melbourne Hall will host UK headline favourites Jo Whiley, Lightning Seeds, The Shires, Maxïmo Park, Gary Davies, Ward Thomas and lots more.  Across the weekend, the grounds will be transformed into a picturesque scenery of festival decor, the perfect backdrop for a celebration of live music and DJs spanning over three decades of British talent. This brand-new site will host full stocked bars as well as street food from our award-winning event partners with veggie & vegan options available too.  Friday’s DJ-led celebration channels the spirit of the 80s 90s and the pure joy of pop culture, with Jo Whiley’s 90s Anthems and Gary Davies 80s Disco reviving the decades they helped define and Toby Spin adding a fresh twist that keeps the night buzzing.  Saturday shifts into indie-rock euphoria, where Lightning Seeds bring their shimmering, melodic anthems to the lawns. Maxïmo Park follow with their trademark, literate, high-energy performance - alive with the emotional intensity and restless reflections that power their new album Stream of Life and driven by the urgent, celebratory energy that has made them one of the UK’s most exhilarating live bands for over 20 years. Riding The Low add the raw, Midlands-rooted indie spirit that feels right at home in Derbyshire’s landscape, while Propaganda DJs keep the festival feel alive long into the evening.  Sunday’s sunshine sets the stage for the UK’s finest country artists. The Shires return with their Nashville-approved harmonies, Ward Thomas bring heartfelt storytelling through their renowned sisterly blend, Catherine McGrath offers warm acoustic emotion shaped by both Ireland & Tennessee and Minna’s adventurous folk tones drift beautifully across the gardens - creating a pastoral finale to the weekend.  VIP tickets are available offering fast track entry, private area, exclusive draught tap bar, separate street food, private toilets, closer access to front of stage, chill-out area with seating, covered area and more.  The new site also offers on-site parking... Live at Melbourne Hall 2026 is bigger and better than ever!
