Organisers Gill Tee and Debs Shilling said: “We want to thank ticket-holders for the record-breaking pace at which you snapped up Super Early Bird and Early Bird tickets, we don’t take that kind of unwavering support for granted, particularly in these tough times.
”We’re working so hard behind the scenes with our small but dedicated team to guarantee you another great Black Deer experience next summer. There’s a lot more to come, but we hope you agree that this initial announcement demonstrates our commitment to building Europe’s premier Americana playground once again. Bonnie Raitt, Nathaniel Rateliff, Lucinda Williams, Allison Russell… it reads like a who’s who of Americana music past and present. We can’t wait to welcome our community back into the deer park to enjoy it all!”
