Alex Warren to headline music festival

Grammy award-nominated singer Alex Warren has been announced as the first headliner for a music festival.

Warren will top the bill at Live at Powderham 2027 on 26 June. The four-day music festival, which takes place at Powderham Castle, near Exeter, runs from 24 to 27 June.

Warren's appearance follows a breakthrough period for the US star, whose second album, Wildchild, reached number one in several countries including the UK and US.

His hit single Ordinary became one of the biggest songs of 2025 and helped establish him as one of pop music's fastest-rising artists, said festival organisers.

Peter Taylor, co-founder of festival promoter Cuffe & Taylor, said Warren was a "phenomenal talent and it will be an unforgettable night".

Live at Powderham attracted thousands of music fans in 2026, with headline performances from Lewis Capaldi, Alanis Morissette and Teddy Swims.
