We're wildly excited for our string of summer Yard shows, which begin on Friday 21 July 2023.
The concrete playground of the Galvanizers Yard will be transformed and will play host to a range of internationally renowned acts, who will be performing throughout the summer to over 4000 excited punters.
Kicking off on Friday 21 July, there will be a variety of acts performing over a five week period – with something to suit everyones tastes. To make life easier, we've put together a handy list of all of the acts performing, so you can familiarise yourself with them ahead of each show.
Ben Howard
First up on Friday 21 July is Brit-award winning singer-songwriter Ben Howard. Having been exposed to music from a young age, due to his parents' love of singer-songwriters, Howard picked up a guitar and started writing songs at age 11. After spending three years at university, he quickly realised music was his passion and dedicated his life to it. Fast forward several years, he's released four studio albums, won two Brit awards, and firmly established himself as one of the biggest indie-folk artists on the planet.
