After the cancellation of Hampton Court Palace Festival in 2020, the West London musical feast will be back in style for 2021 this August. The programme is set to be a triumphant return, featuring a stellar lineup of artists including Nile Rogers & CHIC, Tom Jones, Van Morrison, Keane, Bastille ReOrchestrated and Bjorn Again (with Rick Astley, Lionel Ritchie and George Benson scheduled for 2022).

Now in its 25th year, the festival is a series of truly special and unique open-air concerts. Artists perform in an intimate 3,000-seat auditorium in Base Court, set against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s magnificent Tudor Palace. What better addition to 2021’s summer of celebrations?
