Red Rooster Festival returns to Euston Hall in Suffolk, from 1st - 3rd June 2023, and has just announced the first wave of artists confirmed to perform for 2023

The wonderfully wild, blues genre bending world of Fantastic Negrito will be hitting the main stage next summer. His vision of blues is as eclectic and all-encompassing as Prince’s was to soul. Part love story, part history lesson, Fantastic Negrito’s extraordinary new album, 'White Jesus Black Problems', is an exhilarating ode to the power of family and the enduring resilience of our shared humanity.

Smart and sassy singer and songwriter Nikki Lane, brings her blend of vintage country and rock, armed with Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) produced new album ‘Denim & Diamonds,’ coming with fiery cowboy boots and a denim jacket. 

San Francisco’s Chuck Prophet and The Mission Express will also be performing on main stage, complete his mix of modern lo-fi sensibilities with his storytelling songs and swampy roots influences. 

New York City’s most explosive Rhythm & Blues street gang Daddy Long Legs make their welcome journey back to Red Rooster. 

Formed in a North Carolina dormitory in 2012, The Nude Party celebrates the clanging rock of the ‘60s while blending modern elements that made Rolling Stone magazine laud their debut album.

“The Fearless Storyteller” – Uncut Magazine, Jesse Malin will make his eagerly anticipated Rooster debut next year. The first double album of Malin’s career hits like a collection of heartfelt and eloquent short stories that never lose their dirt and swagger. 

GA-20 will also be heading to Euston Hall and they’re clearly on to something big. It’s a movement, a new traditional blues revival. The dynamic, throwback blues trio are disciples of the place where traditional blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll intersect.

It’s 25 years since The Arlenes released their first music and 21 years since their Loose Records debut. The band are now back and in business, releasing a 6 track EP ‘One More Hill To Climb’ on Lido Records. 

5 years ago King Salami and The Cumberland 3 blew the Red Rooster crowd away and organisers are delighted to announce that they'll be back with their mongrel mix of Caribbean, France, Japan and Spain to Euston Hall. 

Also joining is the blistering punk-rock sounds of Us, the band originally hailing from Finland but who have now started roots in the UK.

As ever, Red Rooster will bring a taste of the Deep South to England complete with authentic street food, BBQs, kids entertainment, boating, and the much loved Howlin' Woods DJs. 

Red Rooster has consistently sold out the last four years and the 2023 event will no doubt follow suit. Red Rooster is proud to be one of the best value festivals out there at just £129.50 + Booking fee for the whole weekend.

 This includes three nights of camping and parking FREE. Kids 12 and under go for free as always and organisers this year have also introduced a teen weekend ticket for just £50 + Booking fee.
