Winter Gardens Blackpool in Lancashire will be a witness to the offscale singer-songwriter talents that will be gracing the British Country Music Festival from August 30 to September 1, 2024. 

Kicking off Friday night is the multi-award-winning modern country artist in the UK, Kezia Gill. Her soulful voice, impressive vocal range, genre-blending style, and multi-instrumental talent have definitely won her fans across the globe. And then taking over Saturday is Randall King, the beacon for neo-traditional country music. The West Texas native has sworn allegiance to the honky-tonk, and he’s definitely bringing international status to the festival. Last but not least, Grammy-nominated country and pop hitmaker Beth Nielsen Chapman is headlining the closing day, Sunday. She has written songs for the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, and many more.

The headlining trio will be joined by their amazing accolades. Gill will be supported by Julian Taylor, who has just been nominated again for a prestigious Juno award, and Gina Larner, who recently sold out shows across the UK. Doug Levitt, who has been known for his decade-long project The Greyhound Diaries, will open the night and Twinnie, who’s also an actress, is set as the supporting act to King. Girls’ Night In: The Round, featuring Gill, Jade Helliwell, and Demi Marriner, and Jess Thristan, will make their only festival performance of 2024 at The British Country Music Festival.
