Bellowhead and Seth Lakeman are among the first artists confirmed to appear at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2014.
The Dhol Foundation and Lau will also be headlining next year’s event, which will take place from August 22 to 25 at the West Mid Showground.
The Full English, a multi-artist project featuring Seth Lakeman, Martin Simpson, Nancy Kerr, Fay Hield, Sam Sweeney, Rob Harbron and Ben Nicholls, will also be performing in one of only two festival appearances planned for next year.
Alan Surtees, event director, said: ‘Everyone said 2013 was our best festival yet but we’re determined to top that in 2014! We are still working on the line up and will reveal more exciting artists in the coming months.
‘As our regular festivalgoers know, we bring the cream of the UK and international folk world to Shrewsbury and they can always expect to discover a new artist they’ve never heard of or seen before – we always like to throw a few different things into the mix.’
The festival is expected to feature four music stages, a dance tent, dozens of workshops, a popular children's festival and a dedicated youth programme for 12 to 17-year-olds.
