KT Tunstall is our latest confirmed headliner for Wickham Festival 2017

Posted on by Peter Chegwyn

We’ve just updated our site with even more artists to join an already incredible line up for Wickham Festival 2017.  We’re delighted to announce that KT Tunstall is our latest confirmed headliner.  She’ll be appearing on Thursday 3rd August along with 10cc, Boo Hewerdine and Andy Fairweather-Low amongst others.  She’s at the top of her game having released KIN, her fifth studio album, at the end of 2016.  She’ll be sure to perform brand new tracks from this successful album alongside some old favourites…

As ever you can always expect more of the unexpected when you visit Wickham this summer with the likes of John Otway, rock and roll’s greatest failure…

We’re also pleased to announce The Men They Couldn’t Hang will be performing on Saturday 5th August 2017.  In 1991 they performed a reunion concert at London’s Town and Country Club. That night they played to a sell-out crowd and to show why they had become of one of the most missed bands on the circuit. The video below contains some footage of that legendary night.  Get your headphones out and turn it up loud, they’re a fantastic band to see live and we can’t wait…

Here is a list of all the artists recently added to our line up:

Please follow our Facebook or Twitter pages for the very latest news of artists announced.  You can still save £30 on ‘earlybird’ season tickets if you book by March 31st.

    Yes, as others have said, a site plan would be good even if things have to change at the last minute. So the Big Tops are on the west of the Wickham to Waltham Chase road this year. Where is the camping in relation to the Big Top field? Is it the other side of the main road? Surely not.

    Does excited happy dance 🕺, wanders off to pack, sun cream, waterproofs, sun dress, thermals, sandals, wellies... having done Wickham in all weather's I just know the music and site will be AMAZING whatever the british weather throws at us. Thank you. Xx

    Can we arrive on the Wednesday?
