Shrewsbury Folk Festival has released the first names on its 2026 bill following this year’s record-breaking event that saw a sell-out of weekend tickets weeks ahead of the August Bank Holiday festival.
The initial line-up promises an unmissable celebration of folk and roots music over the four-day festival from 28 - 31 August, with more headliners and artists still to be announced.
Topping the bill is one of Britain’s most enduring songwriters and guitarists, Andy Fairweather Low with his band The Low Riders. Shrewsbury will also host the only festival show of 2026 for Ferocious Dog featuring The Celtic Folk Orchestra before the band bows out of performing. Also appearing will be acclaimed Irish singer Cara Dillon, whose pure voice and heartfelt songs have captivated audiences worldwide.
In addition, the line-up features the newly formed Steve Knightley & The Winter Yards Band, Slambovian Circus of Dreams (USA), Dustbowl Revival (USA), Steve Knightley (solo), Chris Wood, Man The Lifeboats, Kerr Fagan, Thunder and Rain (USA), Cable Street Collective, Sãwol, Ballads and Songs: Sam Carter sings Nic Jones, Taff Rapids, The Lost Notes, Daisy Chute, Jess Silk, Three Idle Women, The Rusty Tubs, The Gleaves and Shane’s Singo Bingo.
Shrewsbury is now the country’s leading folk festival with an international reputation attracting bands and festivalgoers from across the world. Held on the riverside West Mid Showground close to the town centre, it has four stages and a dance tent, workshops and sessions and a huge range of activities for children and young people within their own dedicated festivals. There’s also a craft and music fair, six real ale and cocktail bars and an extensive food village.
What's On are offering you the chance to win two weekend camping tickets to Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2026.
Competition closes Monday 2 March.
