Organiser Helen Wright says:
Join us on Saturday, 19th July for Tribute Music Festival, in the beautiful grounds of Middle Aston House (OX25 5PT) for some toe-tapping, hand-clapping, feel-good festival vibes.
We have a great line up…
If you thought you’d missed Elton John’s final live performance at Glastonbury last year – then you still have time to witness some of the magic (sort of) as he’s coming to “Middle Aston-bury” 2025 in the guise of “Utmost Always Elton”!
Didn’t manage to get your hands on Oasis tickets? Fear not! We’re delighted to bring you the next best thing, as we welcome “Oasus” to play this year. They’re definitely, maybe, one of the best tributes around.
Get ready to defy gravity as our Ariana Grande tribute act is bringing the magic, the high ponytail, and a little bit of Oz to the stage!
And headlining we are delighted to welcome “Rule the World” who have been recognised as the No. 1 Take That tribute act globally and are former winners of the National Music Tribute Awards. They’re Back for Good to turn your evening into the Greatest Day, with hit after hit that will have you singing along all night. Could It Be Magic? Absolutely. Just be sure to Never Forget this unforgettable show!
