We’re pleased to announce another batch of artists for 2017.  There’s a real mix of talents with some returning acts as well as artists making their Wickham Festival debut.  From poetry to Punjab inspired percussion and then onto “cowpunk” … as always they’ll be something different we guarantee you won’t have seen before!

We’ve added new pages for, and welcome the following artists to the Wickham Festival 2017 stage.  Click on the links to find out more:

• Tinderbox – ex-accountant, self-confessed idiot, 77 published books of poetry
• Steve Tilston & Jez Lowe
• Fay Hield & The Hurricane Party
• The Dhol Foundation – you won’t be in the doldrums listening to these Dhol Drums from the Punjab province in the north of India
• Chris Sherburn & Denny Bartley
• Imar
• Pronghorn – yup, cowpunk is a word dating back to the late 70s … it combines punk rock with folk music. Perhaps not in the OED but it does exist
• Bemis

Please follow our Facebook or Twitter pages for the very latest news of artists announced.  You can still save £40 on ‘earlybird’ season tickets if you book by December 31st.
