When: 28th – 30th May 2026
Where: Euston Hall, Suffolk, England
Red Rooster Festival – the brilliant celebration of Cajun, soul, rock’n’roll, blues, roots, and country music – will be back next year for its 12th annual outing in 2026, returning once again to the idyllic surroundings of Euston Hall, located in the peaceful Suffolk countryside and complete with its 300 acres of historical private gardens and beautiful rolling parkland.
Organisers are delighted to announce that Early Bird Tickets for Red Rooster 2026 are now on sale via the website at www.redrooster.org.uk.
Red Rooster Festival also acknowledges the sad news that Black Deer Festival, as well as many others, did not take place in 2025. As fellow champions of Americana, roots and country music in the UK, it recognises Black Deer’s spirit and contribution to the live music landscape.
Red Rooster co-founder Harry Grafton says:
“The Association of Independent festivals says 39 festivals have closed this year. Rising operating costs and prices have made many smaller innovative music events, organised by passionate and committed people, unsustainable. As well as showcasing live artists from home and abroad, like small venues they act as pipelines for emerging talent, which is key to the industry’s future. They provide a huge range of choice for music fans too. It will be a sad loss if our incredibly creative small independents are forced to shut up shop.
Red Rooster has always tried to be affordable whilst offering a depth of programming despite these added costs. Last year it was really encouraging to see more young music fans when we introduced more country music programming, and as ever generations of families came together for a great experience. Red Rooster remains committed to keeping the roots music flame alive in the UK – and looks forward to welcoming you all for another unforgettable weekend.”
