Highways festival will return this summer.
The country and Americana event will take over London's Royal Albert Hall on May 16 and 17, featuring country star Eric Church (pictured) headlining both dates with his storytelling-driven residency show To Beat The Devil, previously only performed at his Nashville bar Chief's.
Special guests set to perform across the festival include Molly Tuttle, Caylee Hammack and Bella White, with more artists still to be announced. Baylen Leonard from Absolute Radio Country will take on hosting duties. Live Nation's Senior Vice President of Touring, Anna-Sophie Mertens said:
"Our third edition of Highways is set to be a special occasion not to be missed with Eric Church, one of Nashville’s greats, headlining both nights. His acclaimed residency will make history at Highways as the only time we get to see this show in Europe and there isn’t a venue more fitting to experience this than the Royal Albert Hall.
"I am also delighted to welcome the enormously talented Molly Tuttle, Caylee Hammack and Bella White on the bill along with a final fourth act, which we cannot yet reveal, but I can confirm it will be their first-ever UK performance. We will also see the return of our hugely popular series of intimate events in the Elgar Room including Country for Kids, the Songwriter’s Round and our Late Night Specials."
Director of Programming at the Royal Albert Hall, Matthew Todd added: "We are delighted to be bringing Highways back to the Hall for a third year and are thrilled to have Eric Church headlining the festival for two nights. Highways has quickly become a staple in the UK’s country and Americana calendar, and there is no better venue for those genres than the Hall, which has been hosting country concerts since the days of Johnny Cash."
The second edition of Highways festival took place in May 2024 and featured headliners The Cadillac Three and Brett Young.
