Just announced: Hozier to play at Englefield House this summer
It's just been announced that award-winning, multi-platinum singer and songwriter Hozier will play a huge outdoor show in the spectacular grounds of Englefield House, as part of the Heritage Live summer concert series.
Returning to the UK for the first time in four years, Hozier will perform in the middle of summer on Sunday, July 23, supported by special guests Far From Saints and Victoria Canal.
Tickets for the show will be available on pre-sale on Wednesday, April 19 at 9am. Customers MUST register at https://arep.co/p/hozier for pre-sale access. Any remaining tickets will then go on general sale on Friday, April 21, at 9am from axs.com/heritagelive
Heritage Live promoter Giles Cooper said: “Hozier is one of those special artists that only comes around once in a while, and he is undoubtedly one of the most talented artists in a generation.
"It’s been a driving ambition of us all at Heritage Live to stage a show for him and we really can’t wait!”
The show in the grounds of Englefield House comes after Hozier released his most recent EP Eat Your Young in honour of his birthday and St Patrick’s Day on March 17, featuring all new material across three tracks, All Things End, Through Me (The Flood) and the title track. Working on further music, his third album Unreal Unearth is set for release later this year.
Driven by the thought-provoking quintuple-platinum anthem Take Me To Church, Hozier’s self-titled full-length debut bowed at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 - the second biggest debut album of the year - and went on to achieve triple RIAA Platinum status. It enjoyed nine weeks at number 1 in his native Ireland (including spending an incredible 441 weeks in the Irish Top 50 charts). The album rose to no 3 in the UK ahead of his third sell-out UK tour.
The follow up to Hozier’s debut album Wasteland, Baby! was released to massive critical acclaim in March 2019, entering the US Billboard Top 200 Chart at #1. The album’s 14 tracks, all original Hozier compositions, marked a major development in songwriting and subject matter. The most obvious is Hozier’s enlightened assessment of the global socio-political landscape.
Far From Saints is Kelly Jones of Stereophonics, along with Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker of The Wind and The Wave. As a trio, they have co-written a debut album (out June 16) which comprises a cross genre sound, including folk, rock, country and americana. Far From Saints was born out of a shared love of collaborations and music, rich with emotions and creative integrity, all brought to life by Kelly and Patty’s vocal harmonies.
Opening the show will be Victoria Canal, an inspiring and empowering young artist, who is on a mission to improve humanity through music. Spanish/American, Victoria is from Los Angeles, however has lived everywhere from Tokyo, to Amsterdam and Dubai and studied music in Barcelona and New York, including a stint under legendary voice coach Jan Smith, who has worked with the likes of Drake and Usher. After writing a multitude of songs in her basement during lockdown, with a makeshift studio, Victoria decided to give more of herself over to music and release the tracks, which are out now under the title Elegy.
Also announced at Englefield House for the Heritage Live concert series is Richard Ashcroft of The Verve, plus very special guests Ocean Colour Scene and The Sherlocks on Saturday, July 22 and Flackstock, the festival raising awareness of mental health issues and raising funds for mental health charities, on Monday, July 24.
