The UK’s Biggest & Longest Running Tribute Festival – Marvellous
The UK's Biggest & Longest Running Tribute Festival
Marvellous is coming at you once again and our giant festival stage hosts a massive 14 world-class tributes to some of the greatest acts of our time, while our second stage showcases the amazing wealth of talent that is to be found in many of our local artists.
Then, of course, there’s the wonderful Big Kids’ Village with tons of free activities, roaming entertainers, funfair rides, silent disco marquee and dozens of food, drink and merchandise traders. It’s plain to see why we are the UK’s Biggest and Longest- Running Tribute Festival.
Marvellous takes place during the third weekend of July every year, near Reading in Berkshire against the beautiful backdrop of Dinton Pastures Country Park with its picturesque lake and magnificent sunsets! So, please join us for an unforgettable weekend of family summer fun and great music. You can come for the day, or maybe the entire weekend – you can stay overnight onsite in one of our pre-pitched glamping tents, or bring your own tent or motorhome. We’ve even got hot showers and real flushing toilets if you’re staying over.
The entire site is protected by our 24 hour security and we’re proud that families go out of their way every year to tell us how safe, secure, fun and enjoyable their time has been. We’re even in Top Trumps and beat Glastonbury with our “Hotties” rating of 10/10 ! (so make sure you bring your lippy girls !)

Saturday July 18
Space Cowboy
A Tribute to Jamiroquai have been thrilling audiences all over the UK and Europe for more than a decade, with their status as the definitive tribute acknowledged by Jamiroquai themselves.
“This is an excellent tribute show, it all sounds on point” – Derrick McKenzie, Jamiroquai Drummer.
Rule The World
Rule The World are recognised as the Number 1 Take That tribute act in the world. They are the only Take That tribute show to have ever been praised by the band’s very own Gary Barlow.
Every show is designed to look, sound, and feel like a genuine Take That performance, and fans often describe the experience as “the next best thing” to seeing the real band live.
Typically Tina
An amazingly accurate tribute to The Queen of Rock & Roll featuring so many of the great woman’s biggest hits including ‘Nutbush City Limits’, ‘River Deep Mountain High’ and ‘Simply the Best’ to name but three.
The look, the voice and most importantly the attitude is beautifully captured and all brought to life by the incredible Karin Bello.
Sound of Springsteen
A stunning tribute that truly captures the raw energy and legendary spirit of Bruce Springsteen’s live shows. Audiences consistently praise the band as “fantastic” and “brilliant,” hailing them as the best tribute they have ever seen.
Powering through all the iconic anthems, from the desperate thrill of “Born to Run” to the heartland rock of “Dancing in the Dark” that makes you feel like you’re witnessing The Boss himself.
Legend
Get ready to feel the irie vibes with “Legend,” an authentic and soul-stirring tribute to the one and only Bob Marley.
They’ll transport you straight to Jamaica with a setlist of timeless anthems, including “Three Little Birds,” the powerful call for change in “Get Up, Stand Up,” and the universal classic “One Love.” A performance by Legend is a joyous, feel-good celebration that will have everyone singing along and dancing together.
Who are they ?
A healing walk born from a monumental crash.
Who is he ?
The gloved one who started by wanting back before going off the wall.
Sunday July 19
Flash
The sounds of Queen have reverberated through past Marvellous Festivals for 2 decades. Enjoy the anthemic grand finale to Marvellous 2026 with the absolutely brilliant Flash. They will ROCK YOU!
“It wouldn’t be Marvellous without Queen”
Sweet & Sour
No Jacket Required
Formed in 2002 and since have performed all over the UK and overseas to large and appreciative audiences. While other tributes have come and gone, No Jacket Required have built themselves a reputation as the best and most established Phil Collins tribute in the country. Many who have attended their shows have given higher praise than that. “If you close your eyes, you can’t tell the difference between No Jacket Required and Phil Collins himself”
One Step Behind
“One Step Behind” delivers an irresistibly energetic and authentic tribute that perfectly captures the iconic “Madness magic.” The band is celebrated for their spot-on musicianship and the lead singer’s uncanny resemblance to the legendary Suggs, both in voice and charismatic swagger.
For over 30 years, they’ve ignited the dance floor with a hit-packed setlist featuring ska-pop anthems like “Our House,” “Baggy Trousers,” and “It Must Be Love,” ensuring a non-stop party atmosphere from start to finish.
Rogue Minogue
A truly spectacular and authentic tribute to the pop princess, Kylie Minogue, delivering a dazzling visual and musical experience.
As the only Kylie tribute officially endorsed by her official fan club, ‘Team K,’ their credibility is unmatched. The dedication to detail is extraordinary, with each iconic stage outfit meticulously recreated by one of Kylie’s own designers, ensuring a strikingly genuine appearance.
From “Spinning Around” and “Love at First Sight” to the timeless groove of “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” Rogue Minogue delivers a hit-packed, professional show that captures the glamour, joy, and pure pop perfection of a genuine Kylie concert.
Who are they ?
Hungry like the new romantic pioneers of a video age.
Who are they ?
A direct hot fuss from a neon-lit desert.
