Shania Twain, The Chicks and Kacey Musgraves will headline State Fayre 2027, the camping festival held at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex, on June 18 to 20, Billboard reported. Organisers say the all-female top line is a first for a major U.K. camping festival.

Shania Twain was first confirmed in a post on State Fayre's Instagram account on Nov. 2. The Chicks, made up of Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Strayer, return to the U.K. for the first time since 2023. That year they played Glastonbury and BST Hyde Park, supporting Bruce Springsteen. Kacey Musgraves will make her first festival headline appearance in the region.

Twain's slot is part of a wider summer run across the U.K. and Ireland. Dates in Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast run through June 29.

The rest of the bill includes Billy Strings, Sam Barber, The Corrs, Drake Milligan, Sons Of The East, Brothers Osborne, Bear's Den, Evan Honer, Noah James, Aaron Rowe, Mountain Grass Unit, Danny Worsnop, Taylor Acorn, Alyssa Bonagura and Bella McCormick. The festival is run by Anna-Sophie Mertens and Alex Simmonds.

Tickets are available in stages. A presale for Friday and Sunday day tickets is live through PayPal now. A day ticket covers entry for one day only, rather than the full weekend. General sale opens at 9 a.m. GMT on Nov. 13, which is a Friday.

For anyone planning a June weekend in Essex, the presale is the earliest route in. Fans who miss it will have two days to try the wider sale. Friday and Sunday are the days on sale first, so those who want a full weekend will need to check the general on-sale for when other days become available.

The Chicks, Twain and Musgraves are all well-known names in country music, and the bill mixes that with bluegrass, folk and Irish acts. Festival lineups of this size tend to draw crowds from across the country, and the camping element means many visitors will stay for the whole weekend. Watch the festival's channels for ticket updates ahead of the November on-sale.
