RECOMMENDED: Found Festival with The Felice Brothers and This Is The Kit

[oliverjbgray]

Americana followers have been casting around for a festival that offers the kind of music and experience they seek - roots, folk and and Americana in a truly inclusive setting in the style of the much-missed Folk In The Park and Towersey. The latter ran for sixty years until 2024, and now the same family is carrying on the tradition in the form of Found. It’s a not-for-profit, fully independent festival for just 2,000 people, held over the last weekend of August at Claydon Estate in Buckinghamshire, blending grassroots live music, dance, wellness, comedy, talks, and a full family programme, all set on a beautiful country estate.

Running from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August 2026, Found features over 100 acts across three stages. 

Music highlights this year include: 

Oxford's indie-folk pioneers Stornoway, best known for their breakout hit “Zorbing,” and fresh from a huge anniversary show at the Royal Albert Hall.

From upstate New York come The Felice Brothers, known for their free-flowing, Dylan-esque, literary songwriting and uniquely entertaining live presence.

This Is The Kit is the project of singer-songwriter Kate Stables, blending folk with understated art-pop arrangements. TITK is  returning to Found after a standout Towersey set in 2023.

Also featured on the 2026 bill are Joshua Burnside, Matthew and the Atlas, and Gecko, with comedy from Shappi Khorsandi, Robin Ince and others.
