AAF26 Bands Released

Who's ready to dance under Cornish skies?

We’re still buzzing from the incredible music at this year’s Armchair Adventure Festival — and if you were there, you’ll know exactly why!

From soul-stirring sets under the stars to those spontaneous late-night dance sessions in The Three Wheels festival pub, #AAF25 was pure magic. ✨

And we couldn’t be more excited to share that some Armchair favourites are returning for 2026!

The Cabarats

🎺 The Cabarats

Back by very popular demand, The Cabarats are bringing their unique blend of balkan brass, ska rhythms, and Middle Eastern magic back to Mount Edgcumbe! Their infectious energy, big smiles, and party-starting tunes had the whole site bouncing in 2022 — and we can’t wait to welcome them back for round two. Expect dancing, laughter, and a carnival vibe that’ll sweep you straight into the festival spirit! 💃✨

Black Friday

🎻 Black Friday

When Black Friday hit the stage in 2023, the tent erupted. Cornwall’s own folk-punk powerhouse are known for their wild energy, huge singalongs, and unstoppable feel-good chaos. 

Even Dawn French called them “fantastic, absolutely fantastic” — and Louis Theroux summed it up perfectly: “Great gig, man.” 🎤🔥 

If you missed them last time, don’t make that mistake again — this set’s going to be legendary.

And that’s just the beginning… we’ve got brand new headliners to announce very soon — and trust us, you won’t want to miss what’s coming. 👀

So grab your friends, pack your dancing shoes (or flip-flops), and get ready for 3 unforgettable nights of live music, adventure, and Cornish sunshine at #AAF26.
