The Main Stage
Green Room

Maui Waui takes over Elveden Hall Estate near Thetford for three days every August, with more than a hundred acts across six stages. It is eclectic, circus influenced and genuinely international, which makes it a natural home for a 1968 coach with a piano in the back.

For the second year running The Love Bus sat at the heart of the main stage area, working as the artist green room and VIP lounge. Headliners came off stage, walked a few metres, and stepped into a warm, quiet, acoustically enclosed room with a bar and a piano. No marquee, no generator run, no fuss.

The 2026 edition was the busiest yet. Gaudi played the main stage and came aboard afterwards. Zion Train and Dub Pistols both spent time on the bus, and Dub Pistols closed the whole festival.

Who Came Aboard

Artists on The Love Bus

A green room only works if the people using it want to stay in it. These are some of the acts who did.

Gaudi

Played the main stage and joined us on the bus afterwards. His own page called it an incredible night at Maui Waui.

Zion Train

The mighty Zion Train on The Love Bus. One of the standout sets of the weekend.

Dub Pistols

Closed the entire festival, and spent time aboard before and after the set.

Opaque

A brilliant set, and lead singer Muneer Hassan is a long standing friend of the bus.
