Headliners King Khan And The Shrines, lead the first acts to be announced for Red Rooster Festival taking place in the grounds of Euston Hall, in Suffolk from Thursday 2nd to Saturday 4th June 2016.

The Berlin-based psyche soul revue will play their first ever headlining slot at a UK festival.

Also announced today is full face crash helmet and cannon ball suit wearing Arizona punk Bob Log III who mixes Mississippi Delta blues slide-guitar with hip hop beats, Gospel Punk Blues singer James Leg making his first ever UK festival appearance, and the UK festival debut of Brooklyn blues trio Daddy Long Legs.

Embracing the sounds and lifestyle of the American Deep South, Red Rooster aims to become the event for fans of Rhythm and Blues, Americana, Soul, Roots and Country music offering authentic food and drink to the mix too.

Organiser Harry Grafton, from Euston Hall said, "We're so happy to have secured these talented and inimitable artists, some of which are making their debut UK festival appearances here at Red Rooster. We love these guys and we were thrilled to secure them but there’s still a lot more music line-up and other activities to be announced. In addition, there’ll be a bigger, bolder site at Euston this summer too."

Besides the main and smaller stages, Red Rooster plays host to campfires under the stars, a ‘gators lake, wide open cornfields, shady woodland and fun activities laid on for the kids, which all makes for an atmosphere evocative of Southern-style hospitality and one big fun lovin’ Creole party.
