Long Walk Live

About

Following the success of its inaugural festival in June 2026, Long Walk Live is delighted to announce its return to Windsor for a second year, with kind permission once again granted by His Majesty The King.

The two-day celebration of live music and community will return to Windsor’s iconic Long Walk on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 June 2027, bringing together an exciting mix of headline acts, world-class tribute performances, local bands and talented performers from across the Royal Borough.

Toploader, the hugely popular British band of the late ’90s and early ’00s, have been announced as headliner for Friday 25 June, bringing their feel-good pop-rock sound and much-loved hit Dancing in the Moonlight to the Long Walk Live crowd.

Nik Kershaw, one of the defining singer-songwriters of the 1980s, will perform a host of much-loved hits including Wouldn’t It Be Good and The Riddle, will headline Saturday night, closing the spectacular festival weekend.

Further details of the 2027 line-up will be announced in due course, with festival-goers invited to look forward to another summer celebration of music, entertainment and community spirit.

Celebrating music and community

Produced by Windsor Festival and supported by The Prince Philip Trust Fund, Long Walk Live is an event that was always more than just great music.

The inaugural 2026 festival brought together local charities, community groups, sponsors and businesses, creating opportunities for organisations from across the area to connect with festival-goers and celebrate the community.

It also provided up-and-coming local performers and community choirs the opportunity to play a larger event to wider audiences including local singer song-writer from Maidenhead Noa Bethan who played an acoustic set, 230 children from schools across Windsor singing together in a choir, Glee and Rock choirs, and local rock bands Euphoria and Ford House band also played receiving a great response from the crowd.

As with the 2026 event, all proceeds from Long Walk Live in 2027 will go back towards supporting Windsor Festival and The Prince Philip Trust Fund – two charities that help make a positive difference to RBWM residents’ lives and contribute to the local vibrant, community-centred arts scene.
Building on this success, the 2027 festival promises another memorable weekend, combining fantastic live entertainment with the opportunity to support local causes and celebrate the best of Windsor.

Chris Aitken, Chair of the Long Walk Live Organising Committee said; ““We were absolutely delighted by the response to our first Long Walk Live and the fantastic support we received from across Windsor and beyond. It showed just how much people value coming together to enjoy great live music in such a special setting, while supporting causes that make a real difference to our local community.

“We remain incredibly grateful to His Majesty The King for allowing us to hold the event once again, the Crown Estate for all their support, and the local business, volunteers and organisations that help us bring this event to life. But we are especially thankful for the people of Windsor and Maidenhead who came out to support us. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another brilliant summer celebration in 2027.”
