Moseley Folk & Arts Festival marks 20th anniversary with Super Furry Animals and Kingfishr

Moseley Folk & Arts Festival will mark its 20th anniversary from 4 to 6 September at Moseley Park in Birmingham, with Irish indie-folk band Kingfishr, Super Furry Animals and Canadian folk act The Dead South headlining.

Super Furry Animals are continuing their return after a ten-year hiatus. The Welsh band last toured in 2015.

The supporting lineup includes Frank Turner, Johnny Flynn and his sister Lillie Flynn, and Birmingham band The Wonder Stuff. Johnny and Lillie Flynn's collaborative album, Beam Cottage, is out in November.

Also confirmed are Big Special, The Longest Johns, Damien Dempsey, Katherine Priddy, Jane Weaver and Jacqueline McShee's Pentangle. Jacqueline McShee's Pentangle is one of several acts who also appeared at the first Moseley Folk Festival in 2006.

The comedy lineup includes David O'Doherty, Robin Morgan, Lindsey Santoro and Mark Watson. Blur drummer Dave Rowntree will discuss his book No One You Know as part of The Heath Bookshop Presents strand.

The festival will also run storytelling, workshops, retro gaming and a wellness tent.

Tickets are now strictly limited, with discounts on children's tickets available until 1 September through the Government's Great British Savings scheme.
