Humber Street Sesh 2025 headliners revealed
The headline act for Hull's biggest music festival has been announced.
The Howl & The Hum, from York, is to perform on 2 August at the Humber Street Sesh, which showcases grassroots and local musicians.
Other artists to perform at the one-day event, in the Marina and Fruit Market area of the city, are Liverpool-based rockers Casino, Nottingham alternative country group Divorce and Hull's electro punk musician Jodie Langford.
Mark Page, the festival's artistic director, said: "We're delighted to have The Howl & The Hum confirmed as this year's festival headliners."
He said: "They're an act that grabs the soul of an audience with sublime vocals and arrangements, and one that will undoubtedly stun the crowds at this year's event.
"Alongside our other headliners, we're hugely excited for our 13th edition of Humber Street Sesh."
The festival was developed from a weekly live music night held at a pub in west Hull.
Since the inaugural event in 2012, it is estimated more than 2,000 bands and artists have taken part, according to organisers.
Humber Street Sesh is to run from 12:00 to 23:00 BST on 2 August and ticket details can be found on the festival website.
