State Fayre will bring a true taste of Americana to the UK in June 2026, with an incredible line-up spanning rock, country, and folk music. Inspired by American state fairs, long summer nights and tailgate parties, State Fayre is a celebration of music, food and culture, blending contemporary and classic sounds with a distinctive American theme, all less than 30 minutes from London.
Audiences will be able to immerse themselves in the sounds, sights, and tastes of Americana across the whole weekend. The UK’s premier BBQ festival, FUME, will host The FUME Pit on-site, featuring award-winning pitmasters and vendors from across the UK and beyond. Co-founded by social media sensation EatingWithTod, FUME has set the standard for BBQ excellence, with the largest BBQ cages in the UK and demonstrations from some of the most talented chefs in the industry.
Alongside three main stages packed with live music, State Fayre will also feature vegetarian and vegan food traders, live food talks and demonstrations, whiskey, craft beers and cocktail bars plus non-alcoholic drinks options, boutique camping options, state fair festival rides and activities.
