Damian Lewis and Band Playing the Summer Festival Circuit

One Red Hot Summer For This Cool Cat

by Gingersnap | damian-lewis.com | April 6, 2024

Damian and his fantastic band are scheduled to play several summer festivals this year! More dates could be added but for now, here is the line-up.

Up first is Black Deer Festival of Americana at Eridge Park located on the Kent/East Sussex border near Tunbridge Wells on Saturday June 15. Damian will play the main stage ahead of headliner Sheryl Crow. Damian played a gig at last year’s festival and is a welcomed return. Black Deer is an award-winning UK festival in celebration of singer-songwriter music, such as Americana, Folk, Bluegrass, Roots and the Blues. Described as being dropped into a musical melting pot, you’ll find wholesome food and drink, artisan wares, boutique camping, a saloon bar, BBQ arena with smokehouse cooking and demos/masterclasses with renowned chefs, custom-built motorcycles, and the great outdoors. It will be a jamboree! Get ticket information here.

Next up is Pub in the Park at Chiswick House and Gardens in Chiswick ahead of musician Jools Holland on Sunday, June 30. Pub in the Park is billed as the ultimate crossover of food and music – one of the hottest foodie destination this summer. The festival has carefully curated a line-up of award-winning and Michelin-starred eateries and you’ll be able to hop between pop-up restaurants to feast on exclusive menus created by the nation’s best chefs and restaurants, all the while listening to brilliant live music. Sounds like a culinary delight. Get ticket information here.

Musical Acts Announced

by Benjamin Jackson | National World | April 12, 2024

The family-friendly festival CarFest, created by radio presenter and former Top Gear host Chris Evans, has announced a second wave of artists for this year’s event, complementing an already eclectic mix of acts performing over Bank Holiday Weekend 2024.

With the festival having already announced their first wave of acts, including Olly Murs (who also is headlining Flackstock this year), Eurovision favourite Sam Ryder and reggae legends UB40 comes a deluge of acts from those halcyon Cool Britannia days of old.

As revealed earlier this morning, Richard Ashcroft, Johnny Marr and the Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears will be performing at this year’s event, while a throwback to the past sees Kula Shaker performing on a festival stage once again – we weren’t joking about the Cool Britannia vibe.

They are also joined by legendary Ibiza DJ Judge Jules, Homeland actor Damian Lewis, Johnny Hates Jazz and CarFest’s favourite Dr Rangan Chatterjee will also be hitting the stage with his very own band
