UPDATE: Moseley Folk and Arts Festival 2020 have announced they are to regrettably postpone September’s festival to 2021, due to Covid-19-related restrictions.
Many of the artists booked for 2020 are already confirmed for 2021, including headliners The Waterboys, Richard Hawley, The Wonder Stuff, Gruff Rhys, and Stephen and Claire Duffy (from The Lilac Time).
The next Moseley Folk Festival will now take place from Friday 3 to Sunday 5 September 2021.
Celebrating their 15th anniversary, Moseley Folk and Arts Festival returns from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 September 2020.
Among those making their way to the picturesque suburban park at Mike Scott's The Waterboys, Sheffield's Richard Hawley, Miles Hunt and The Wonder Stuff, and singer-songwriter Passenger.
Songwriter and composer Richard Hawley
Also on the bill are Super Furry Animals' frontman Gruff Rhys, trio The Staves and Stephen Duffy (the ex-Duran Duran man who went on to form the more acoustic focused Lilac Time).
There's plenty of great local acts appearing including Katherine Priddy, Alex Ohm, and Brum's post-punk stars (and John Peel favourites) The Nightingales.

Moseley Folk added the "... and Arts" last year, as the programme has expanded to embrace other art forms. With three music stages, there's also plenty of family activities and play space.
