Powderham Castle is gearing up for one of its biggest nights of the summer as Alanis Morissette rolls into Devon for a rare UK appearance, and the line‑up has just levelled up again. Joining the seven‑time GRAMMY winner are two of the UK’s most exciting guitar bands: Pale Waves and The Big Moon, with Skunk Anansie already locked in as special guests.
For fans of alt‑pop, indie, and fierce female‑fronted energy, this is shaping up to be a once‑in‑a‑summer moment.
Alanis’ Powderham show on Friday 26 June is the first of just seven UK dates this year, a tiny run considering the scale of her global following. It follows a huge 2025 for her live career, including a sold‑out O2 Arena and a widely praised, career‑defining debut at Glastonbury.
To sweeten the deal, organisers have launched a two‑day pass covering both Teddy Swims (25 June) and Alanis Morissette (26 June), giving fans the chance to turn the weekend into a proper summer weekender.
Manchester’s Pale Waves have never been a band to sit still. From the neon‑lit indie‑pop of My Mind Makes Noises to the pop‑punk bite of Who Am I? and Unwanted, and now the shimmering jangle‑pop of 2024’s Smitten, they’ve built a catalogue that refuses to be boxed in.
Across 500+ shows worldwide, including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Lollapalooza, and headline tours across four continents, they’ve carved out a fiercely loyal fanbase. This year alone they’ve opened for Louis Tomlinson on his arena run and been announced for Yungblud’s Bludfest 2026.
Their addition to the Powderham bill brings a sharp, melodic edge that will land perfectly as the sun starts to dip behind the castle.
Opening the night are The Big Moon, one of the UK’s most consistently brilliant indie bands. Formed in 2014, the London four‑piece have built a reputation for clever songwriting, warm harmonies, and a sound that shifts effortlessly between dreamy alt‑pop and punchy indie rock.
Their debut Love in the 4th Dimension earned a Mercury Prize nomination, while 2022’s Here Is Everything became their first UK Top 10 album, powered by standout singles Wide Eyes, Trouble, and This Love.
Live, they’re magnetic, the kind of band that wins over entire fields at festivals. Powderham is going to love them.
TK Maxx presents Live at Powderham runs from 25–28 June, with headline sets from:
Teddy Swims
Alanis Morissette
Lewis Capaldi
All set against the backdrop of the Powderham Castle estate, one of the most picturesque live music settings in the South West.
Cuffe & Taylor co‑founder Peter Taylor summed it up perfectly: this is “an unmissable night in an unmissable weekend”.
