Further acts have been announced for this year's Black Deer festival.
The three-day multi-stage event celebrating americana and country music will return to Eridge Park in Kent this summer, after the 2021 edition was cancelled due to concerns over COVID-19. It will be the first major event to take place in the UK since the coronavirus lockdowns.
Headliners already confirmed include Van Morrison, Saving Grace featuring Robert Plant and Suzi Dian, and Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls.
Among the newly announced acts is Saturday headliner Jake Bugg (pictured), The Cuban Brothers, Ginger Wildheart and The Sinners, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, and more. The festival's co-founders Gill Tee and Deborah Shilling said:
"We're very excited to be able to push our plans, bring together our beloved community for a 2021 edition of Black Deer and deliver one hell of a (safe!) summer party.
"The UK live music industry has been hit hard and we feel it is so important to support our artists, their teams and the wider festival community at the earliest opportunity. It’s not going to be easy, but we’re doing everything we can to make Black Deer Festival 2021 one to remember!"
