The tickets for a major music festival at an estate have been released for 2026. Red Rooster Festival is returning in 2026 for its 12th year as it continues to celebrate Southern soul, blues, roots, and country. The festival will be set in the grounds of Euston Hall in Suffolk from Thursday, May 28, to Saturday, May 30. The organisers have announced that early bird tickets for Red Rooster 2026 are now on sale via the website. The festival also wants to acknowledge the news that Black Deer Festival as well as many others were not operating in 2025. As fellow champions of Americana, roots, and country music in the UK, it recognises in particular Black Deer's spirit and contribution to the live music landscape. Harry Grafton, co-founder, said: "The Association of Independent festivals says 39 festivals have closed this year. Rising operating costs and prices have made many smaller innovative music events, organised by passionate and committed people, unsustainable. As well as showcasing live artists from home and abroad, like small venues, they act as pipelines for emerging talent, which is key to the industry's future. They provide a huge range of choice for music fans, too. It will be a sad loss if our incredibly creative small independents are forced to shut up shop. Red Rooster has always tried to be affordable whilst offering a depth of programming despite these added costs. Last year, it was really encouraging to see more young music fans when we introduced more country music programming, and as ever, generations of families came together for a great experience. Red Rooster remains committed to keeping the roots music flame alive in the UK - and looks forward to welcoming you all for another unforgettable weekend."
