Mucky Weekender Adds DJ Yoda And X-Press2 As September Festival Draws Closer

Mucky Weekender has added DJ Yoda and X-Press2 to its 2026 line-up, joining Goldie, Roni Size, DJ Hype, Doc Scott and more this September.

Mucky Weekender has announced two new additions to its 2026 line-up, with DJ Yoda and X-Press2 joining the bill as the festival enters its final three-month countdown.

Taking place from 10 to 12 September at Vicarage Farm in Winchester, the event already boasts a substantial crossover line-up spanning drum and bass, reggae, hip hop, house and breaks. For drum and bass fans, the weekend will feature appearances from Goldie, Roni Size, DJ Hype, Doc Scott, Aphrodite, Mickey Finn, MC GQ and Graham Gold, alongside a special guest appearance from The Sabres Of Paradise.

The newly announced additions continue the festival's broad musical approach. DJ Yoda remains one of the UK's most distinctive turntablists, while X-Press2 bring a catalogue of house music classics stretching back more than three decades.

Founded by Dub Pistols frontman Barry Ashworth, Mucky Weekender has built a loyal following through its mix of music, performance and community-focused programming, attracting audiences from across multiple electronic music scenes.

"We're absolutely buzzing to announce DJ Yoda and X-Press2 for this year's Mucky Weekender," said Ashworth. "Both are genuine legends in their fields and bring something completely unique to the festival."

Further announcements are expected ahead of the festival's return in September, with tickets available now via the Mucky Weekender website.
