THURSDAY | Live Music at The Barn Bar during Henley Regatta 2026

This year’s Nashville Nights was one for the books! Held during the world-famous Henley Royal Regatta, The Barn Bar came alive with the spirit of the South as guests packed in for an unforgettable evening of country music, dancing, and all-American fun. Headlining the night was none other than the Luke Combs Experience, delivering powerhouse performances that had the crowd singing along from start to finish.

The energy didn’t stop there – the night also featured hits inspired by today’s biggest country stars including Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, and Carrie Underwood. With line dancing, live Texas Hold ’Em, and an electric crowd under the regatta lights, it was the perfect mix of Nashville flair and Henley tradition.

Stay tuned for what’s happening in 2026 – Nashville Nights will be back, and we promise it’ll be bigger and better than ever.

On Thursday, July 3rd, The Barn Bar once again played host to one of the most anticipated evenings of the Henley Royal Regatta calendar — Nashville Nights. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Thames, this one-night-only celebration of Country & Western music delivered high-energy performances, line dancing, and southern charm to a packed crowd of country lovers.

This year’s headliner, the phenomenal Luke Combs Experience, lit up the stage with chart-topping hits, bringing the heart of Nashville straight to Henley. From crowd favourites to heartfelt ballads, the set had fans singing every word. Between sets, the energy never dipped — DJs kept the party rolling with a foot-stomping mix of contemporary country and classic anthems.

Guests immersed themselves in the full Riverside Rodeo experience with lively line dancing, thrilling Texas Hold ’Em games, and a festive atmosphere that only The Barn Bar can deliver. Country stars like Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, and Carrie Underwood also inspired the night’s musical journey, making it a must-attend celebration of modern country culture.
