Joining PJ Harvey for this epic event are some seriously talented acts.
Indie rock darlings Big Thief, the genre-defying Tirzah, and the ever-enchanting composer Shida Shahabi will all be on hand to set the stage for what promises to be a magical night under the stars.
In her own words, PJ Harvey expressed her excitement for the upcoming show: “I’m grateful to Gunnersbury Park for inviting me to curate this event. I have chosen what I feel to be some of the most exciting artists working today. With them I hope to be able to give the audience an emotional, heartening and uplifting experience.” With praise like this, it’s clear she’s poured her heart into making this a truly special experience for her fans.

PJ Harvey’s career is nothing short of extraordinary.
She’s the only artist to have ever won the Mercury Music Prize twice—once in 2001 and again in 2011—and her recent UK tour has only added to her already glowing reputation. Critics have been raving about the “otherworldly” and “ethereal” nature of her live performances, making this upcoming show a must-see.
Big Thief, known for their heartfelt indie folk, are also making their way to London after releasing their critically acclaimed double album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You last year. Their fans will no doubt be thrilled to see them return to the UK stage.
Tirzah, who’s been making waves with her unique, genre-blending sound, will also be performing. Her music, a mix of love poetry and experimental loops, has captured the imagination of many, and her live set is sure to be a standout. And to round out the lineup, we have Shida Shahabi, whose lush, immersive compositions have not only graced her own albums but have also scored films. She’s thrilled to be part of this event, saying: “I am really excited to be supporting the inspiring and brilliant PJ Harvey, along with other really nice acts, at Gunnersbury Park in London next August, where we will be performing music from my recent album ‘Living Circle’.”
So, whether you’re a long-time PJ Harvey fan or just looking for an amazing night out, make sure to secure your tickets and prepare for a night of incredible music in one of London’s most beautiful outdoor settings.
