Replika Festival to attempt the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for most tribute acts to perform at a music festival ever

The Bootleg Beatles, Noasis, Guns 2 Roses and more take centre stage at Catton Park on Thursday 25 – Sunday 28 June 2026 for a record-breaking celebration of the artists, songs and music that defined eras

Replika Festival, Europe’s biggest tribute music festival, has announced plans to attempt an Official Guinness World Record for the Most Tribute Acts To Perform At A Music Festival, marking a major moment in UK festival history.

Set in the stunning grounds of Catton Park, Derbyshire, Replika Festival 2026 will bring together a spectacular number of tribute performers across four stages, delivering non-stop live music, mass crowd sing-alongs and a once-in-a-lifetime festival experience. The record attempt will be officially verified by Guinness World Records, with all performances across the site contributing to the final count.

Replika is a large-scale extravaganza of the songs, artists and eras that have shaped generations of music fans. Spanning six decades of music, from the 1960s to today, the festival will showcase everything from classic rock and Britpop to pop, dance and modern chart hits, all performed by leading tribute acts from across the UK and beyond.

For festivalgoers missing Glastonbury’s trademark mix of nostalgia, discovery and crowd-wide sing-alongs during its 2026 fallow year, Replika Festival offers a unique alternative. Celebrating the music of artists that have hailed festival stages for decades – Replika brings their tribute counterparts together in one place, creating a familiar yet entirely original festival experience.

Leading the 2026 line-up are The Bootleg Beatles, widely regarded as the world’s most established and respected Beatles tribute. Known for their exceptional attention to detail, era-spanning performances and global touring history, their appearance at Replika reflects the festival’s ambition to unite the very best tribute talent on one stage – and at record-breaking scale.

They are joined by Noasis, the definitive tribute to Manchester legends Oasis. Known for their swaggering authenticity and pitch-perfect recreations of Britpop’s biggest anthems, Noasis have built a cult following of their own. In one now-legendary moment, the band found themselves snowed into a pub for three days during a winter storm – turning the lockdown into an impromptu residency and playing to stranded locals throughout. It’s that same raucous, roll-with-it spirit they’ll bring to Replika’s record-breaking weekend.

Pop takes centre stage with Got To Be Steps, a high-energy tribute celebrating one of the UK’s most successful pop groups. Packed with iconic choreography and chart-topping hits, the show taps into the nostalgia of late-90s and early-2000s pop at its peak. The Cheesy & 90s stage will be hosted in partnership with Back 2 Festival, bringing specialist curation and feel-good throwback energy to the weekend. They are joined by Got To Be Venga, delivering a full-throttle celebration of Eurodance classics and hands-in-the-air party anthems.

Representing the boyband era, WestZone brings the music of Westlife and Boyzone to life, delivering polished vocals and feel-good ballads that have soundtracked generations. Their performances are designed for mass participation, tapping into the enduring appeal of one of the UK and Ireland’s biggest pop acts.

Also featured is Stoke-On-Trent’s very own Dan Budd as Robbie Williams, one of the most established and recognisable Robbie Williams tribute performers in the world. With a career spanning decades, Dan Budd has become synonymous with capturing both the sound and swagger of one of Britain’s greatest entertainers, delivering a show packed with stadium anthems, charisma and crowd interaction.

Together, these acts form part of a wider programme that will see hundreds of tribute artists perform across the weekend as Replika Festival takes on the Guinness World Record challenge. Across the weekend, festival goers can expect uncanny performances from the look-a-likes of Wrong Jovi, Nickelback UK, LinkN P4rk, Guns 2 Roses, Ed Sheeran Experience, Kascada, Take That Rule The World, Sweet Like Sabrina, Lewis Capaldi tribute and more. 

Beyond the music, Replika Festival offers a packed programme of alternative entertainment and on-site experiences. The Chipperfield Entertainments Circus Tent (the festival’s fifth stage) will host three daily shows on Saturday and Sunday featuring flying trapeze artists, FMX motorbike stunts, aerial displays, comedy and more, all included in the ticket price. Family-friendly Bathory Pro Wrestling, the free-to-play Kapow Retro Gaming tent, Rob Kirtley’s Jimi Handtrix puppet show and roaming street performers add to the weekend atmosphere, alongside more than 30 market and food traders. The festival also supports the Army Benevolent Fund as its chosen charity, with fundraising activities across the event.

Weekend tickets include camping with free showers, accessible, family and quiet zones, while VIP upgrades offer a main stage viewing balcony, private bar and luxury facilities. Glamping packages and caravan or motorhome pitches are also available, alongside Saturday and Sunday day tickets.

Tickets are on sale now at https://ontick.co.uk/event/replika for £100 + booking fee for the entire weekend with camping.
