We have some disappointing news for fans of the Black Deer Festival. The organizers have announced* that the 2025 edition of the festival has been cancelled. The decision comes in light of rising production costs and unpredictable ticket sales, which have made it unfeasible to host the event next year.
This announcement follows the success of Black Deer Festival 2024, which brought together an incredible lineup of Americana and country music artists. The 2024 festival was a memorable event, filled with outstanding performances, vibrant community activities, and an atmosphere that celebrated the essence of Americana culture. Fans who attended left with unforgettable memories and a sense of anticipation for the next festival.
Despite the setback for 2025, the festival’s spirit remains undeterred. The team behind Black Deer is committed to keeping the Americana music community alive through their Live & Radio platforms. They are planning to expand events across the UK leading up to a full festival return in 2026. Fans can stay engaged with Black Deer Radio for their favourite tunes and keep an eye on @BlackDeerLive for updates on local shows.
We understand this news will be disappointing for many, but we look forward to an even bigger and better festival from Black Deer in 2026.
