THE STAGE IS SET…

Japfest Silverstone isn’t just about what’s happening on track or on the stands, it’s about the energy at the heart of the show that is supplied by the Main Stage. And the big news is, that the timetable has just dropped.

From the moment the gates open, DJ Darren will be spinning high-energy tracks to keep the atmosphere bouncing all day long. Whether you’re grabbing merch, checking out the display cars, wandering the Drift Kings paddock or fuelling up with food, the soundtrack to your Japfest experience is locked in.

DRIVER INTERVIEWS. LIVE AND UNFILTERED

Throughout the day, we’ll be bringing some serious talent to the stage. Expect live interviews with drift heavyweight Steve ‘Baggsy’ Biagioni, Luke Woodham, and other elite drivers from the drift scene. We’ll be diving into their builds, their mindset, their wildest moments on track and what it really takes to compete at the top level. If you’ve ever wanted insight straight from the drivers themselves, this is your chance.

GIVEAWAYS, AWARDS & CROWNING A KING

The Main Stage is also where things get serious. We’ve got an epic prize giveaway lined up (more to follow on that), which you will not want to miss. Make sure you’re paying attention, someone will be leaving with more than that Japfest fuzzy feeling. And of course, this is where we celebrate the best of the best. We’ll be announcing the Club Winners, revealing the Car Award Winners, and, in true Japfest tradition, crowning the 2026 Japfest Drift King live on stage. That moment when the trophy goes up and the crowd erupts?

We’re also welcoming Nilfisk to the Main Stage for a live demo of their latest pressure washers. Expect serious cleaning power on display, but we’re not done yet, more announcements are coming. More guests. More surprises. So keep your eyes locked on our socials for updates as we count down to April 19th. The timetable’s live. The stage is set. Now all we need is you to book your tickets.
