Ramblin' Man Fair announces first 20 bands for 2021
Roll on next summer
The first wave of bands have been confirmed for Ramblin’ Man Fair 2021 after this year’s event was postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Set to return to the beautiful Mote Park in Maidstone, Kent from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th July 2021, many of the acts on the 2020 bill will honour their slots next summer.
Maryland rock monoliths Clutch will once again play a very special three-day, three-set residency at Ramblin’ Man Fair 2021 that will kick off on the Friday night with a headline performance on the Planet Rock Main Stage.
The ‘Who Wants To Rock?’ set on Friday will be a full-on electric performance featuring Clutch’s biggest anthems from their fabled back-catalogue.
The Saturday afternoon will feature an ‘An Afternoon At The Doom Saloon’ set on the Main Stage, which is billed as ‘slow-burning set of Clutch classics, semi acoustic grooves, and more’ that will ‘start mellow and acoustic and gradually pick up steam.’
On Sunday night on the Blues Stage, Clutch will play a ‘Sound Attack!’ set that will fuse rock with go-go, funk and blues. Described as a party set, the performance will be more eclectic and experimental and will feature a number of special guests.
Also confirmed for the Planet Rock Main Stage across the three days are Foghat, The Quireboys, Massive Wagons, The Steel Woods, The New Roses, Bad Touch, Hands off Gretel and These Wicked Rivers.
British progressive rock powerhouses Big Big Train will honour their headline slot on the Prog in the Park Stage on the Saturday with the genre-straddling Curved Air confirmed as special guests in a UK exclusive.
Elsewhere, Pure Reason Revolution, Moon Safari, Lazuli and Blurred Vision are all once again confirmed for Prog in the Park.
Joining Clutch on The Blues Stage on the Sunday are Eric Gales, Samantha Fish, The Inspector Cluzo, Connor Selby and Blindstone.
With many more bands still to be announced, tickets for Ramblin’ Man Fair 2021 are on sale from the official website right now.
