Blenheim Palace Festival, the highly anticipated new festival set against the breathtaking backdrop of one of Britain’s most iconic palaces, has today announced that Appleton and The Mariachis will join multi-GRAMMY Award-winning superstar Michael Bublé as support acts on Saturday 4 July 2026. Also joining the line-up is emerging singer-songwriter Ruti, who will open for Teddy Swims on Tuesday, 30 June 2026.
Taking place at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire in June and July 2026, the brand-new festival is pulling out all the stops for an unforgettable first year with headline performances from American pop royalty Katy Perry with support from Mimi Webb, international vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims with special guest Lauren Spencer Smith, seven-time GRAMMY-winning icon Alanis Morrisette with special guest Skunk Anansie, and dance music legend Pete Tong Ibiza Classics. Tickets for all shows are available now via www.blenheimpalacefestival.com.
Originally rising to fame as half of All Saints, one of the most successful pop groups of the 1990s, British Canadian musical duo Appleton was formed in 2002 by sisters Natalie and Nicole Appleton. Appleton’s first single “Fantasy” reached Number 2 in the UK singles charts, before the release of their Silver-certified debut album Everything Eventual in 2003. In 2023, the duo celebrated Appleton’s 20thanniversary, with a special pressing of Everything Eventual on vinyl for the first time since its release.

Known for his world-class showmanship and spectacular concert productions, Michael Bublé takes audiences on a special journey through his catalogue of most-loved hits and greatest tracks from the breadth of his extraordinary career. Having sold more than 75 million records worldwide, he fuses unstoppable talent and unparalleled energy with a voice that is renowned for singing everything from pop to swing, jazz, R&B and beyond.
The night will open with a set by The Mariachis, who previously supported Michael Bublé on his 2022 UK tour, bringing their vibrant, high-energy blend of traditional mariachi flair and contemporary hits to the Blenheim Palace stage.
Emerging artist Ruti will open for Teddy Swims with her commanding voice and quietly cinematic sound, blending folk, alternative pop and singer-songwriter storytelling.

Following a standout year of releases and high-profile live performances, Ruti continues to captivate audiences with a powerful yetnuanced vocal and a distinctive, genre-blurring style.
