If you ask us, Kew The Music sounds pretty amazing.
It’s probably the only festival you’ll go to this summer that’s set in the grounds of a literal UNESCO World Heritage Site – that’s Kew Gardens in South-West London, in case you were wondering – and they’ve even made sure that there’ll be plenty of room for you to bring a picnic and a blanket if you want to. Which is lovely, really, isn’t it?
Oh, and did we mention that they’ve also assembled a killer line-up for their 2024 edition? Over the course of one week in the middle of July, this series of wholesome one-dayers will welcome gardening heroes, rock legends, and bona fide pop superstars to the fields of Kew – and we’d even be inclined to say that they’re likely to be a series of nights that you’ll never forget. Here’s what they’ve got in store:
Monday 8th July – An Evening in Conversation with Monty Don, interviewed by Tina Daheley
.
Tuesday 9th July – MIKA plus Sammy Rae & The Friends + Essence Martins
.
Wednesday 10th July – Ronan Keating plus Lucy Spraggan + Tom Speight
.
Thursday 11th July – Passenger plus Gabrielle Aplin + Newton Falkner
.
Friday 12th July – JLS plus Tinchy Stryder
.
Saturday 13th July – Beverley Knight plus Asa & Marisha Wallace
.
Sunday 14th July – An Evening with Richard Ashcroft plus Jamie Webster + Callum Beattie
.
