The Americana icon can’t wait to experience the music event, which returns to Eridge Park, Kent, South East England, between June 16 and 18.
The 73-year-old singer said: “I’m really looking forward to coming to Black Deer Festival. I hear it’s a real home away from home for American musicians. See you next summer!”
It will also be a UK festival exclusive for Grammy-nominated musician and activist Allison Russell.

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!”
