Wychwood Festival takes place at Cheltenham Racecourse.
Graeme Merifield, festival director, said: “For our 20th anniversary, we really had to go all-out for our headliners.
“Craig David brings a whole new dimension to the festival for 2026 with garage and R&B hits.
“When followed by Kaiser Chiefs and Levellers there really is something for everyone.
“Adding Everything Everything and Maxïmo Park guarantees even more indie anthems over the weekend, and completes our strongest music line-up yet.
“Tickets are going fast, and we’ve been delighted with the response to our new Thursday add-on, so with this news, we are on the road to another celebratory, record-setting year at the racecourse.”
Indie rock bands Everything Everything and Maxïmo Park have also been confirmed for Sunday, May 31.
They join previously announced headliners Kaiser Chiefs and Levellers for the Saturday and Sunday nights.
The full line-up also includes Feeder, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Boney M, The Pigeon Detectives, The Twang, Newton Faulkner, and Chesney Hawkes.
For the first time, the festival will kick off a day early on Thursday with a headline performance from Dutty Moonshine Big Band.
The band said: “Wychwood is up there as one of the amazing festivals on the circuit, and it’s an absolute belter of an honour to headline and bring our madness to the first ever Thursday in Wychwood history.”
