Gloucester is set to introduce a new festival to the cities’ growing annual calendar.

The Gloucester Country Music Festival will be held in October 2020 and in preparation for the event a special taster weekend has been organised.

The festival is being organised by Marketing Gloucester with support from Gloucester Business Improvement District (BID), following the success of other music events in the city this year.

Christopher Price, chair of Gloucester BID, said: “We’re delighted to announce our taster event for the Gloucester Country Music Festival.

“We’re keen to see what appetite Gloucester has for Country Music.”

Country music is one of the most popular types of music in the world and the some of the biggest country music stars in the UK will be gracing the stages of several of the city’s venues for the taster event.

Fresh from his triple success at the UK Country Music Awards, Danny McMahon (UK Country Artist Of The Year, UK Male Country Singer Of The Year, UK Country Song Of The Year) will headline the festival following two tour dates in Nashville Tennessee.

London-based songwriters and folk-pop/alt-country duo Two Ways Home will also be performing.

The pair, also known as Isabella Mariee and Lewis Fowler – who grew up in Gloucestershire – are set to release their debut album ‘Break The Silence’ in February 2020 before heading off on a European tour.

Other acts include Kelsey Bovey, Johnny Atkinson and Sallie Ward, Demi Marriner and Country Collective (formed of the most talented country singers in the whole of Gloucestershire).

In addition to a host of live performances, there will also be a line dancing session in The Fountain Inn, with rumours of a flash mob line dance in the city centre as yet unconfirmed.

Christopher Price added: “Gloucester has a great track record in developing events with different music genres, such as the Gloucester Folk Trail and the Gloucester Rhythm and Blues Festival, which are a great opportunity for local business to attract footfall and add to the excellent live music scene in the City.”
