The festival is one of the top events of its kind in the UK and showcases more than the finest in folk – thousands of visitors will be treated to the best in Americana, blues and world music across its four stages.
As expectations ramp up ahead of the event, here are 10 acts to look out for from the 2024 line-up.
1. Ward Thomas – Friday will see the chart-topping twins making their Shrewsbury debut on the festival’s eye-catching Severn stage with their catchy country pop setting the tone for the weekend.
2 Ladysmith Black Mambazo – Friday will welcome the legendary South African group who shot to fame after appearing on Paul Simon’s career-defining solo album, Graceland,
The group has won five Grammy Awards during their career so their addition to the line-up is a real coup for festival organisers, bringing a major international name to Shrewsbury.
3. Gangstagrass – Opening day Friday will also give ticket holders a chance to watch 'Gangstagrass'.
