Cambridge Folk festival has been postpooned, and will return in 2026.

Organisers said: “This decision marks an important step in the evolution of the festival. It has such a special legacy and we are committed to seeing it thrive for future generations as it has done over the past 60 years.”

“We know how dear the Folk Festival is to so many, and the impact it has on all those working in the music industry. It is dear to us too and we are committed to using our resources this year to explore new opportunities ahead of returning in summer 2026 with a fantastic festival.”

“Hearing from all of those who have supported the festival in the past will be a vital part of developing the festival for the future, as is hearing from those potential new audiences who haven’t attended before. We will be asking for feedback during 2025 and want to hear from as many people as possible.”

Cambridge Folk Festival is one of the longest running and most prestigious folk festivals in the world.

Established by Cambridge City Council in 1964, the festival is renowned for its unique atmosphere and eclectic mix of music.

It will take place from Thursday 31st July until Sunday 3rd August 2025, at Cherry Hinton Hall Grounds, in Cambridge.
