2026 Headliners

Frank Turner, Suzanne Vega and Richard Thompson with Zara Phillips will take to the Main Stage in 2026 bringing two full days of incredible live music plus the option to camp for three nights if you’d like to make a full weekend of it.

As always, you can expect Cambridge’s signature mix of roots music in all its forms — folk, Americana, country, blues, world music, and so much more.

We’re proud to continue the Festival’s long tradition of showcasing world-class headliners alongside rising stars from the folk scene. You’ll find an expertly curated line-up across two main stages, a vibrant street performance area filled with talented buskers and roving acts, and a welcoming Club Corner, created in partnership with our local folk clubs and promoters.

This year we are keeping the Festival as affordable and accessible as possible, without compromising on the magic that makes Cambridge Folk Festival so special. Tickets start from £45 with kids going FREE!

Come celebrate music, community, and creativity with us — it wouldn’t be the same without you.

City Wide Celebration of Folk

27 Nov 2025

In 2026, Cambridge Folk Festival expands across the city with an exciting new format. Working with local venues, promoters and folk clubs, organisers will present a programme of events in multiple locations. Highlights include concerts at Cambridge Corn Exchange on 25–26 July and performances in city venues during July.

Cambridgeshire Music will once again host the Summer School from 27–30 July, with a finale performance on 1 August at Cherry Hinton Hall. This new approach offers more opportunities for existing fans and invites new audiences to discover the festival.
