Red Rooster is proud to be continuing the celebration of Southern soul, blues, roots and country as it heads into its 12th year in 2026. Set in the beautiful grounds of Euston Hall, Suffolk, this intimate and truly independent festival remains dedicated to delivering a unique experience for lovers of authentic music, great food, and good times.
Organisers are excited to announce that Early Bird Tickets for Red Rooster 2026 to be held on 28th -30th May 2026 are now on sale via the website at www.redrooster.org.uk.
Loyal Roosters and new fans alike are encouraged to secure their spot early.
Red Rooster Festival also wants to acknowledge the sad news that Black Deer Festival as well as many others were not operating in 2025. As fellow champions of Americana, roots and country music in the UK, it recognises in particular Black Deer’s spirit and contribution to the live music landscape.
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.’
