🌿 Morvala Festival of Arts 2026
Second Wave Line-Up Announced
Mount Edgcumbe, Rame Peninsula • 25–28 June 2026
The energy surrounding Morvala Festival of Arts 2026 continues to grow as we reveal our Second Wave Line-Up — an exciting blend of indie favourites, acclaimed songwriters, cult heroes, and rising artists from across the UK.
Set on the stunning coastal grounds of Mount Edgcumbe on Cornwall’s Rame Peninsula, Morvala promises four days of creativity, community and world-class music in one of the most breathtaking festival settings in the country.
And with the arrival of this new wave, the line-up has levelled up once again.
✨ Exclusive Cornwall Performances From Major Artists
Two of the most beloved names on the bill — Embrace and Sleeping At Last — will perform exclusive Cornwall dates at Morvala 2026, making the festival one of the only places to catch them live in the South West next summer.
Embrace bring a catalogue of anthems perfect for a huge sing-along moment overlooking the ocean.
Sleeping At Last deliver one of the most emotional and cinematic live experiences anywhere, and their Morvala appearance will be their only Cornwall performance in 2026.
These two alone would make for a standout announcement — but they’re just the beginning.
🌙 A Rich, Eclectic Mix of Artists Joining the Morvala Family
The second wave brings an incredibly strong spread of genres and voices:
Fink - returning to Cornwall with a beautifully atmospheric set.
Billie Marten - her warm, intimate sound feels tailor-made for a summer evening at Mount Edgcumbe.
Flyte - bring their immaculate harmonies to what will be their only Cornwall festival appearance of 2026.
Turin Brakes - offering a rare chance to see them live in Cornwall as part of their wider UK dates next year.
The Pineapple Thief - performing one of their standout festival sets of the summer.
Toploader - ready to light up the festival with feel-good hits and festival-favourite energy.
Toby Lee - the young guitar virtuoso whose 2026 UK performances are already generating massive excitement.
For many of our artists, Morvala Festival is an exclusive Cornwall appearance for 2026, underscoring just how special this year’s line-up is.

And this is only part of the bill. The second wave also introduces an incredible roster of eclectic acts spanning folk, alternative, experimental, electronic, neo-classical, spoken-word, indie, and world music.
🌅 A Festival Built by Local Creatives, For the Community
Morvala is proudly run by a small team of musicians, artists and creators from Cornwall.
Every decision, from the line-up to the workshops to the food traders, is shaped around one idea:
Create a festival that feels welcoming, inspiring, and deeply connected to place.
The second wave reflects that mission — a line-up built not by genre, but by heart.
Immersive Festival Moments Stepping Into Cornwall’s Creative Experience
What elevates arts and culture festivals in Cornwall above the ordinary is their immersive quality. These events don’t just showcase music, art and food—they create whole environments where performer and audience merge, installations surprise, and participation ignites. At such festivals, attendees don’t just watch—they step inside the experience.
At Morvala Festival, every corner offers something to explore: pop-up performances, storytelling under the trees, LED light installations and interactive zones that invite curiosity, dialogue and full engagement. Designed for discovery, these immersive elements give festival visitors a chance to connect deeply—with the art, the location and each other.
🏕️ Camping & Glamping in One of the Most Beautiful Festival Locations in the UK
Morvala’s camping and glamping areas sit just a short walk from the stages, surrounded by woodland, open fields, sea views and wildflowers.
It’s one of the only festivals in Cornwall where you can wake up overlooking Plymouth Sound, wander through historic gardens, and then step straight into four days of music, art, workshops and creative experiences.
