Bear’s Den
Bear’s Den
We are beyond thrilled that our 2025 Main Stage headliners are Ivor Novello nominees and consummate performers, Bear’s Den.
We know their set will be a Folk by the Oak finale to remember!
Hailing from West London and formed in 2012 indie folk-rock band Bear’s Den have released 4 studio albums and 6 EPs, garnered 2 nominations for both the Ivor Novellos and UK Americana awards, featured heavily in the award-winning documentary Austin To Boston alongside Ben Howard, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Staves, and been a regular fixture in the UK charts.
Their anthemic songs, rich with intricate, accomplished musicianship, flowing melodies and engaging lyrics, have also won them a devoted global fan base.
The band recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of their first studio album, Islands (2014), by announcing a Europe wide tour for March that has already sold out iconic venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Cirque Royale in Brussels and Amsterdam’s Carré.
We’ve long been fans of this charming, gifted and uplifting band and can’t wait to dance the festival to a close with Bear’s Den at Folk by the Oak 2025!
