Ramblin' Man Fair 2017 announces ZZ Top, Kansas, Joanne Shaw Taylor and more
Ramblin’ Man Fair has unveiled its first wave of artists for next year’s rock, prog, blues and country music extravaganza.
In a UK festival exclusive, voluminously bearded music legends ZZ Top will headline the Main Stage line-up in what will be a hugely anticipated career spanning set.
Joining them on the Main Stage are Canadian purveyors of top-notch southern rock Monster Truck and immensely talented blues rocker Jared James Nichols.
Headlining the Prog in the Park Stage are multi-platinum selling rock heroes Kansas with the mighty Magnum also on the bill.
Testament to her flourishing career, Planet Rock favourite Joanne Shaw Taylor will have the honour of headlining the Blues Stage where she’ll be joined by The Quireboys (performing a special blues set) and Big Boy Bloater.
Completing the first line-up announcement is alt-country pioneer Dan Baird and Homemade Sin who will be bringing his beguiling sounds to the Outlaw Country Stage.
Enthusing about the third consecutive instalment of Ramblin’ Man Fair, Festival Director Chris Ingham says: “Last year’s Ramblin Man Fair was a huge success in all areas. We were overwhelmed by the great spirit and general bonhomie of the crowd as the sun shone brightly, the ale poured freely and the bands played on.
“We welcome all the past ramblers back to Mote Park for 2017 as much as we look forward to welcoming the new friends who have heard just how much fun our special little festival has become.
“We promised that we would up the ante for 2017 and the team at RMF HQ can guarantee that the bill that has been assembled will hit every lifelong rock fan’s sweet spot! This is but the first round of announcements - stay tuned for more transmissions.”
Ramblin’ Man Fair takes place in the stunning surroundings of Mote Park in Maidstone, Kent on the weekend of Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th July 2017.
