Cambridge Folk Festival has announced the first artists for next year’s bill which includes one of Britain’s emerging talents - Jake Bugg.
The singer/songwriter will return to the festival and headline on the Sunday night with an acoustic set.
Jake’s progress, from performing in 2012 on the festival’s smallest stage, The Den, to headlining Stage 1 is a feat matched only by one other artist, Passenger.
Also confirmed are: folk and roots pioneers Oysterband (Sunday), celebrating their 40th anniversary; multi-award winning, visionary folk trio Lau (Saturday), featuring Kris Drever, Martin Green and Aidan O’Rourke and US ‘rockgrass’ favourites Hayseed Dixie (Sunday).
They join previously announced guest curator Jon Boden, who will perform over the festival weekend with The Remnant Kings to preview his autumn 2017 album as well as guest curating elements of the line-up.
