Great news!!
KEZIA GILL TAKES THE FRIDAY NIGHT HEADLINE SLOT AT THE BRITISH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2024.
Since launching in 2019, TBCMF has been a huge supporter of Kezia Gill and as the festival has continued to grow, so has her career. Kezia moves from previous performances on support stages at the event, to take the headline slot in the Empress Ballroom at the resorts indoor Winter Gardens. She follows in the footsteps of The Rolling Stones, Oasis and Ed Sheeran to perform on the same iconic stage.
TBCMF promoter Martin Blore explained: “The reason we launched the festival was to provide a platform primarily for UK singer-songwriters of country, Americana and their sub genres. It has been a joy to watch Kezia’s growth in the industry.
He added: “2024 is a special celebratory year for the festival where we will see UK and international artists unite. Too often UK artists are overlooked in favour of their American counterparts, so we are delighted to endorse Kezia Gill’s rightful place as our Friday night headliner.”
Born in Nottingham to a large musical family of Irish decent, Kezia has a unique sound, pulling influences from a wide range of genres including folk, Irish, country, rock and blues. Championed by Bob Harris, her music has been regularly aired on BBC Radio 2, she has opened for Tony Hadley and The Shires on their UK tours, and her fanbase has grown exponentially.
Kezia sold out 12 dates on her own headline tour and the release of her critically acclaimed album 'Misfit' is sure to see fans flocking to Blackpool. She will also be hosting her podcast “Do You Know Any Oasis’ live from the festival, alongside her best friend and co-host, country singer Jade Helliwell. The event will be exclusively for VIP ticket holders on the Friday night.
Kezia Gill is one of the UK’s leading ladies of the new British country/country rock movement and it’s only a matter of time before promoters across the pond welcome her to their main stage line-ups alongside American headline artists.
On the announcement Kezia Gill said: “I am thrilled to be headlining The British Country Music Festival with my band. I have always loved the ethos of the event, the way it provides a platform for homegrown singer-songwriters and the promotion of country and Americana music in its broadest sense. We have a very exciting performance planned and I cannot wait to rock the Empress Ballroom!” FOR TICKETS VISIT https://www.britishcountrymusicfestival.com/tickets-shop/
