Jamie Cullum, Emilia Fox, Grace Carter and Theo Randall among the headline names at immersive festival retreat celebrating the power of sound.
Audi has announced the return of The Audi Haven at Audi presents Wilderness, taking place from 30 July to 2 August 2026, with a programme that combines live music, cultural discussions, comedy and dining experiences inspired by the theme of sound.
Located in the heart of the Wilderness Festival, The Audi Haven is designed as a dedicated retreat where visitors can step away from the main festival activity while exploring how sound influences emotion, storytelling and creativity through a series of performances, conversations and culinary events.
The concept reflects Audi’s long-standing focus on sound within its vehicle design and driving experience, from acoustic engineering and premium audio systems to the sensory details incorporated throughout its vehicles.
Among the programme highlights is a special live performance by acclaimed jazz musician Jamie Cullum, who will bring his signature blend of jazz, soul and improvisation to the festival on Sunday afternoon.
Singer-songwriter Grace Carter will appear in an Esquire Sessions conversation with Esquire Editor Nick Pope, discussing her creative process, musical influences and the defining moments behind her career.
The cultural programme also features actor Emilia Fox alongside criminologist Professor David Wilson, who will examine the stories behind real-life cold cases during an in-depth discussion. Comedian Joel Dommett will perform a live comedy set on Friday.
Music remains central throughout the four-day programme, with performances from singer Kara Marni, whose soulful vocals headline Saturday evening, while DJ No Girl (Emma Breschi) delivers contemporary club sounds across multiple sessions during the festival.
Festival-goers can also enjoy performances from DJ Doug Marshall, including his collaborative DJ Doug Marshall & Friends set featuring live musicians. Jemma Bolt and Jules Cameron, members of the Discoliscious collective, will close Friday night’s entertainment with an uplifting dance-focused set.
The Audi Kitchen also returns, featuring an Italian-inspired seasonal menu created by Chef Theo Randall. Rather than accepting reservations, dining experiences will be awarded through Audi prize draws and surprise invitations during the festival weekend. Randall will additionally host a conversation about creativity, craftsmanship and his culinary career, followed by a book signing.
Commenting on the programme, Tony Moore, Head of Marketing at Audi UK, said:
“The Audi Haven reflects our ambition to create exceptional, fun and unforgettable premium experiences that bring customers closer to our brand. Audi presents Wilderness is a festival that celebrates curiosity, creativity and connection, making it the perfect setting to bring together music, conversation, exceptional food and inspiring people in one space. This year’s programme explores the power of sound in all its forms, creating moments of discovery that we hope will stay with visitors long after the festival ends.”
