Fairport Convention for Wickham Festival
Good news & bad news on artists appearing at next month’s Wickham Festival.
Sadly The Waterboys; Lil’ Jimmy Reed; The Slambovian Circus of Dreams; and Gaz Brookfield have all had to cancel due to COVID travel restrictions on artists from overseas and resulting UK tour cancellations.
All these artists are already re-booked for Wickham 2022. If you have Sunday day tickets for this year’s Festival you can either still attend or rollover your Sunday tickets to 2022. The Waterboys will now be appearing on Sunday 7th August 2022.

Wickham Festival presents: An Evening with Breabach – Tuesday 16th February
The award-winning Scottish folk band Breabach, current holders of the Album of the Year award, will become the first band from Scotland to embark upon a virtual tour in 2021, covering some of their favourite venues and festivals in the UK – including Wickham. Supported by grant funding from Creative Scotland, they have teamed up with BAFTA winning animator Cat Bruce to create a unique performance for a virtual tour between 11th February and 6th March 2021. Each of the five band members has written brand new music, which has been set to a new animation – Dùsgadh – specifically created for the tour.

2021 Wickham Festival Tickets Update
Hello and a Happy New Year! Let’s hope that with the roll-out of the vaccine, 2021 is a much better year than 2020. Certainly the prospects for our Festival being staged as normal next August look much, much better than they did a few weeks ago.

Saw this advertised a few weeks - some great acts - next year definitely👍
I was in the crowd, he was superb. Never forget that set. Norman Watt Roy on bass too, brilliant!
Remember wondering at the time if it may be the last time he ever performed. Amazing strength and character
It was great to be there
Steve Rawlings 🎸😎
Pamela Horrigan
Ebony Calderbank, remember this? And you were right at the front!
Stages times for our two main stages can now be viewed on the Line-Up pages of our website www.wickhamfestival.co.uk/line-up

Follow us on Twitter or Facebook to ke...Day & Weekend Tickets still available via our website www.wickhamfestival.co.uk/tickets (and selling fast)
Wonderful lineup with very few clashes apart from the night when Capercaillie are playing. WTG Uncle Peter! Looking forward to some great music and meeting up with various debauched individuals who we have not seen since Wickham 2019........
Thanks👍 Only a few serious clashes for us. And to be honest I would rather that than there only be one stage like some festivals😁
Jason Rowland - clashfinder!! Love it! Saved you a job…
The itinerary for the weekend starts now.
Nothing clashes for me
Fab ... very few clashes 💕 it's looking less and less likely that we will be able to come this year but we will stage a 'stay-at-wick home' festival for two again in our garden ... I'm sure the neighbours won't mind 🤣
Can I ask why the Quay West and Acoustic stages are excluded from this, and also the lineup section of the website? These are the artists padding out the lineup for very little money, and who are if anything more in need of the publicity than those on the main stages. And yet every year they seem to go completely unacknowledged 🙄
Are there any requirements for proof of double vaccination/negative Covid test?
Afternoon.. is it worth bringing £1 coins or will it be all cashless ie cards ?
Wickham Music Festival How long will it take in the new extended arena to walk from stage to stage please?🤔
Is John Otway going to be Willy-less now then?
Dear Peeps at Wickham. It’s my birthday on the 7th of August. Can we tweak the timings so my old frame can see Eliza and Van the Man😜😆😆😆😆
Phew, very few clashes so far. I wonder whether Eliza may gain any traction from Van, given his C19 stance. (Just sayin'..........)
Sarah Ping 😁
Big decision to make - Seth Lakeman or Deacon Blue! Only one clash but a big one!
Capercaillie v Manran - how could you lol
Nikki Birch
Belinda Irvine Jim Irvine
Simon Gibbs

I though ferocious dog were playing?
Can you swap Deacon Blue and Van Morrison round please? …. Thank you 😊 🙏
