Ronan Keating and Beverley Knight to headline Kew the Music 2024

Ronan Keating and Beverley Knight are the final headliners confirmed for Kew the Music 2024.

The former Boyzone star – who has had solo hits with ‘Life Is A Rollercoaster’ and ‘When You Say Nothing At All’ – will bring his hits-packed show to the botanical garden in southwest London on July 10.

Soul superstar Beverley Knight – whose hits include ‘Shoulda Woulda Coulda’, ‘Come As You Are’, ‘Keep This Fire Burning’ – will headline on July 13.

Both will be joined by special guests.

Tickets for the shows will go on pre-sale from Thursday (22.02.24) at 10am, and general sale on Friday (23.02.24) at 10am from www.kewthemusic.org.

Previously confirmed headliners include MIKA on July 9, Passenger on July 11, JLS on July 12, and Richard Ashcroft on July 14.

Known for surprises, last year Lewis Capaldi shocked gig-goers at The Vamps’ Kew the Music show by hugging singer Brad Simpson onstage – in what marked his first appearance since his Glastonbury set that led him to step back from performing for the “foreseeable future”.

Fans of the boy band – also comprising Connor Ball, Tristan Evans and James McVey – screamed hysterically as the pair embraced to the side of the stage where Lewis was watching their set.

The ‘Someone You Loved’ hitmaker – who is a Vamps super fan – came out during their performance of ‘Risk Of It All’ and grabbed Brad’s microphone before he appeared to sing, though he could not be heard over the animated audience.
