Getting ready for Wickham Festival 2017

Posted on by Peter Chegwyn

It’s been a busy week at Wickham Festival HQ.  It’s not long until we start announcing artists for 2017.  In preparation we’ve moved our line up from last year into our yesteryear section.  To view everything from last year, view our 2016 Line Up page.  From there you can see the full 2016 line up, link to artist profile pages, read festival reviews in the media, listen to interviews, view gallery images and watch videos.  Everything from 2016 in one place!

Please follow our Facebook or Twitter pages for when we announce the first artists for 2017.  You can still save £40 on ‘earlybird’ season tickets if you book by December 31st.

    So sad to hear of the sudden passing of Shamus O'Blivion and the Megadeath Morrismen front man Mick who has lit up the Wickham Festival with his stage presence, humour and wonderful music
    https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17YCaG4tGB/ He will be sadly missed by all of us
