Bella Hardy
Event Information
Brit folk’s finest” – Mojo“A fine, no-nonsense interpreter of traditional music and an excellent songwriter” – The Guardian“Few are as adventurous and intriguing” – Songlines Bella Hardy, one of the most celebrated voices of modern folk, returns to the stage in 2026 ahead of the release of her eagerly-anticipated new album. Known for her crystal-clear voice and fearless songwriting, Hardy continues to push the boundaries of contemporary folk while staying deeply rooted in the traditions that inspired her. A gifted storyteller, Bella’s work explores themes of home and heartache, love and loss, with striking honesty and poetic depth. Rooted in folk but never bound by it, her songs speak to the soul, timeless yet unmistakably modern. With her new material set to debut during this tour, audiences will be among the first to experience her latest chapter. Those who have witnessed Bella live know the power of her performances. Her voice, both delicate and commanding, draws listeners in from the first note, creating an atmosphere that feels as intimate as it is unforgettable. Touring with her trio, including acclaimed guitarist Jenn Butterworth, these shows promise a rare musical chemistry and emotional depth that few can match. From her breakthrough debut Night Visiting (2007) to ten acclaimed solo albums, Bella has forged an extraordinary career. She’s performed unaccompanied at the Royal Albert Hall, learned the songs of farmers in rural China, sung from the hills of her beloved Peak District, and immersed herself in the music of Nashville during a year as a Tennessee ranch hand. Her journey has shaped a voice that is at once worldly and deeply personal – a voice that earned her the title of BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Singer of the Year. Don’t miss your chance to experience one of folk music’s most compelling voices live on stage.

Ferocious Dog
Event Information
Ferocious Dog UK Farewell Tour 2026 Part 1 Ferocious Dog are a six-piece band who deal in a vibrant vein of Celtic-folk infused punk rock, comfortably slotting in between Billy Bragg and The Levellers. However, like The Levellers and New Model Army (also listed as an influence), Ferocious Dog have a broad spectrum of influences, tied together by the band’s left-leaning convictions and a shared desire to communicate through music. The band has headlined tours of the UK and Europe, performed in Kenya and Dubai, festivals such as Bearded Theory, Alchemy, Deerstock, Farmer Phil’s Festival, Splendour, Lowlands (Netherlands), Glastonbury Festival and Beautiful Days among many others. Ferocious Dog’s 6th Studio Album (Kleptocracy) peaked at No.3 in the Official Folk Charts. No. 6 in the Independent charts and No.11 in the physical charts.

Beans on Toast
Event Information
Beans on Toast hits the road with his full band and new album Kill Them with Kindness. Expect songs, stories, chaos and community in equal measure. The new record is up there with his finest work to date, bouncing between songs about the shitshow of planet earth and the fall of the establishment, to family life, planting trees, and the absurdities of modern living. The record was captured with his new full band, who’ll bring it to life on stage alongside plenty of Beans on Toast classics. Every show is unique but always full of optimism, honesty and singalongs. His belief in positive change through kindness and his authentic folk style have made him a cult hero, and his passion is infectious. Step right up for a night of music, mischief and magic with Beans on Toast. "A master of his art" Full Pelt "Genuinely life-affirming” Louder Than War “A proper folk singer” Frank Turner

Hollie Cook
Event Information
If there’s a theme that the London-based reggae vocalist and songwriter returns to more than any other, it’s love. The magical and the melancholy, the heart-lifting and heart-breaking, you name it, Cook is there for it. “It is just my favourite,” she enthuses. “It makes me feel more alive than anything else!” On the cusp of releasing her fifth album, Shy Girl, Cook is going back to her roots – tight grooves, beautiful vocals and catchy melodies – more self-assured and more open to vulnerability than ever before. Her new album, Shy Girl, is perhaps Cook’s most authentic yet. Almost three years in the making, it has also been her most challenging. Recorded across New York, LA, Spain and London, some tunes were developed over time, others, like title track ‘Shy Girl’, came together in moments of spontaneous intuition. The result is a vibrant, confident record that speaks of the full spectrum of emotions. Almost fifteen years since her debut, Hollie Cook is returning to the sound which first captured her heart, and it rings truer than ever.
