The beautiful grounds of Euston Hall, Suffolk will be the location for the new and exciting, down and dirty, Red Rooster festival, which launches this September 13-15^th. 

Embracing the sounds and lifestyle of the American Deep South, Red Rooster aims to become the premier boutique festival for Rhythm and Blues,Americana, Soul, Roots and Country music. 

Gates will open on the afternoon of the 13^th September and finish in the early hours of the morning of the 15^th September. 

BBC 6 Music DJ, Cerys Matthews is happy to see a new roots and blues festival: 

"Through my BBC 6Music radio show I'm really aware of an ever increasing audience for roots and blues music. The UK doesn't have an equivalent of the legendary New Orleans or Newport Jazz Festivals; this being music made to be performed live, the idea of a real Rhythm and Blues Festival such as Red Rooster will create a great excitement, with both audience and live acts queuing up to be there "

The line-up so far

The Jim Jones Revue - Heartless Bastards - Kitty, Daisy and Lewis

Pete Molinari - Son of Dave - Marcus Bonfanti - Dollar Bill

Big Boy Bloater - Urban Voodoo Machine - Honkeyfinger
