Headliner: These Wicked Rivers — The New Wave of Rock ’n’ Roll Heroes

The 2027 edition of Call of the Wild will be led by none other than These Wicked Rivers, a band whose rise has been nothing short of seismic. Their anthemic swagger, blues‑soaked grit, and unstoppable momentum make them the perfect torchbearers for the next era of British rock. This is their moment — and they’re taking the headline slot by storm.

First Wave of Artists Announced

Joining the charge for 2027 is a powerhouse mix of returning favourites, rising stars, and international heavy hitters:

• Absolva — Manchester’s metal juggernauts bringing riffs big enough to shake the Showground
• Rezet — German thrash energy primed to tear up the weekend
• LN — A fresh force ready to make their mark
• Shotgun Mistress — Australian hard‑rock fire with attitude to spare
• Cassidy Paris — Melodic rock’s rising star returning with unstoppable charisma
• Kissing Kaos — High‑voltage alt‑rock chaos in all the right ways
• Wailing Banshee — Dark, dramatic, and ready to unleash
• Sydney Fate — Melodic metalcore emotion and intensity from Wales’ finest

This is just the beginning — the first spark in what promises to be a blazing year for the festival.

Save the Dates: 27–30 May 2027

Call of the Wild returns to Lincolnshire Showground for four days of pure rock ’n’ roll escapism. Expect bigger stages, louder nights, and a lineup built to celebrate the heart, soul, and future of the rock community.

The countdown to Call of the Wild 2027 starts now. The river is rising. The wild is calling.
