The cold nights may be starting, but the Hampton Court Palace Festival is already gearing up for summer. Organizers have just announced some big names for 2025 – and tickets are now on sale this Friday (November 1).
We reported last week that Elbow will be appearing at Henry VIII’s former residence on June 20. But now, thanks to phenomenal demand, the Manchester rockers will take to the stage for a second night on June 21.
Rag’n’Bone Man will bring his distinctive baritone vocals to South West London on June 12. He will sing songs from new album What Do You Believe In?, as well as fan favorites such as Human and Skin.
Pop icons Bananarama perform to the 3,000 strong crowd on June 14. A favorite among 80s music fans, the Cruel Summer hitmakers are the most successful female band of all time and have sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
The Richmond-upon-Thames festival then welcomes England rugby legends James Haskell, Mike Tindall and Alex Payne on June 15 for a special live edition of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast. The trio will recreate their brand of on-air banter and share stories on and off the field.
The rest of the line-up will be released soon, but with stars like Tom Jones, Kacey Musgraves and the Kaiser Chiefs performing in recent years, anyone could be announced.
