Gladys Knight amongst Henley Festival headliners
The festival - which takes place in July - has announced its line-up
Henley Festival has revealed its line-up for 2024, featuring five nights packed full of music, comedy, dining, and dancing dancing from Wednesday 10 July to Sunday 14 July.
Headliners include Nicole Scherzinger, Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics, Gladys Knight, Nigel Kennedy, and Sam Ryder.
Billed as the UK’s only black-tie music and arts festival it's set on the riverside in Henley-on-Thames and includes a floating stage.
Founded as a charity more than 40 years ago, Henley Festival’s mission is to support the next generation of talent. This year’s Henley Festival RISE line-up will once again give a platform for young musicians, comedians and visual artists to take their first steps on stage, as well offering opportunities for young people aspiring to work behind the scenes.
Jo Bauser, CEO of Henley Festival said:
“RISE is rapidly becoming the beating heart of Henley Festival and is at the core of everything we do. We’re delighted to be able to expand our RISE programme in 2024 to provide more paid opportunities for young emerging talent to perform, exhibit or complete work placements.”
