Wickham Festival News

Updates to our line up section

Today we’ve published which days each artist is performing, so please check out our day pages.  We’ve also updated our tickets page so you can now purchase day tickets.  We won’t be announcing stage times for a while yet.

A few more artists have been added.  There is a welcome return for 10cc who will be headlining on Thursday and they will be supported by Andy Fairweather-Low & the Low Riders.

We’ve also got some Wickham Festival debuts for something a little different.  These acts are a perfect match for our festival.  You’ll come to Wickham expecting to enjoy the bands you know, but then get blown away by artists you’ve never come across before.  On Friday we welcome The Electric Swing Circus who are a six piece electro swing band.  They are recognised for their outstanding live performances that get you on your feet so get your dancing shoes ready to celebrate our 10th festival at Wickham in style!

From all of our team, we wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonderful 2017 … the days are getting longer and the countdown to Wickham Festival 2017 is really underway.  We hope you join us next August!

    Were pleased to see that the late, great Wilko Johnson, who appeared twice at Wickham, is having a train named after him by C2C today.  It will undertake its inaugural journey from Southend Central to Fenchurch Street at approximately 10:45.
