Win two weekend camping tickets to Shrewsbury Folk Festival

A closing set from Levellers, the final UK festival performance from the legendary Oysterband and exclusive shows from Canadian fiddle maestros Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy as they return to the world stage are among the highlights of the first artists revealed for the 2025 Shrewsbury Folk Festival.

Oysterband will bow out with a headline slot over August Bank Holiday weekend as well as returning to their roots for one final ceilidh and talking about their careers in a special ‘An Audience with the Oysterband’ Q & A.

Celtic superstars and power couple Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy will perform their only English shows next year at the festival as they tour outside of North America for the first time in 25 years while Levellers will close the festival, headlining its Severn stage.

Also confirmed so far are Skerryvore (Scotland) celebrating their 20th anniversary, Judie Tzuke, The Henry Girls (Ireland), 9Bach (Wales), Jim Moray, The Fontanas, The Laurettes (Scotland), Naomi Bedford and the Ramshackle Band, Shrewsbury’s own Dan Owen, Edwina Hayes, Bryony Griffth & Alice Jones, We Mavericks (Australia/ New Zealand), Harbottle & Jonas, and The Norfolk Broads.

Making a welcome return after overwhelming demand from festival fans following their triumphant festival debut this year will be El Pony Pisador (Spain) with Haitian voodoo songstress Moonlight Benjamin also making a revisit.

Shrewsbury Folk Festival returns to the DMOS People West Mid Showground from 22 - 25 August 2025.

We are offering one lucky reader the chance to win two weekend camping tickets to next year’s event.
