Fisherman's Friends are the first act to be confirmed for the 2025 Wickham Festival.
The long-standing band, who became global superstars decades into their journey, will appear on Friday August 1.
Bound together by lifelong friendship and shared experience, for more than 25 years the Fisherman’s Friends have met on the Platt (harbour) in their native Port Isaac to raise money for charity, singing the traditional songs of the sea handed down to them by their forefathers.

In 2010, they signed a major record deal and their album Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends went Gold as they became the first traditional folk act to land a UK top ten album.
Since then, they've played to hundreds of thousands of fans at home and abroad, including The Queen during her Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the-then Prince Charles during his 2016 tour of Cornwall, as well as the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
A hit movie and musical based on the Fisherman's Friends story have also been released.
Early bird ticket sales have been extended with other acts due to be announced soon.
