Henley Festival reveals sensation line-up for this summer

Henley Festival Presented by Westcoast has announced a sensational line-up for 2024, featuring five magical summer nights full of world-class music, comedy, dining, dancing and magical moments. From Wednesday 10th July to Sunday 14th July, headliners will include Nicole Scherzinger, Gladys Knight, Rylan, Nigel Kennedy, Sam Ryder and more.

Westcoast, a Berkshire-based technology company distributing some of the world's leading tech brands, are delighted to continue its long association with the festival and support RISE, their charitable programme.

The UK's only black-tie music and arts festival set on the river in Henley-on-Thames invites festival-goers to enjoy a world-class music programme of pop, world, classical, folk and jazz set alongside stellar comedy, stunning art galleries and sculpture installations, as well as gourmet dining, dancing and jaw-dropping fireworks.

New for this year, Henley Festival has presented the inaugural Westcoast RISING Star Award – celebrating outstanding achievement and great potential – to singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist KATYA, known for her refreshingly personal solo performances where she combines her soulful vocals and layered guitar with electronic beats, jazz overtones and atmospheric soundscapes.

KATYA's debut single, I'll Take Your Number, was released the day before her performance on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury, and garnered national and international radio support with spins on BBC Radio 1 and Germany's Deutschlandfunk Kultur. "I'm grateful to have been chosen to receive Westcoast's Rising Star award. It means so much to be acknowledged for my music and the work I continue to put in to further my career, particularly as an independent artist. RISE at Henley Festival is such an important initiative, and the support it provides up-and-coming creatives like myself is invaluable." KATYA says.

Jess Tyley, marketing director of Westcoast adds, "We are delighted to continue our ongoing support of Henley Festival's RISE programme, acknowledging the vital role it plays in championing emerging musicians during challenging times for grassroots music. It is with huge excitement that we announce the inauguration of this year's Westcoast Rising Star Award, presented to the exceptionally talented Katya. This award underscores our commitment to nurturing and celebrating the bright future of artists who contribute significantly to the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry."
