Live music returns to Hampton Court Palace with August festival

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?
