Billy Strings will return to the U.K. this June. The guitar prodigy has been confirmed as a marquee act at State Fayre 2027, which is set to take place at Chelmsford, Essex’s Hylands Park from June 18-20. The Chicks, Kacey Musgraves and Shania Twain will headline the three-day event, the first time a U.K. camping festival has exclusively booked female headliners.
The second-annual event’s other first wave artists include: Mountain Grass Unit, Sam Barber, Brothers Osborne, Evan Honer, The Corrs, Drake Milligan, Sons Of The East, Bear’s Den, Noah James, Aaron Rowe, Danny Worsnop, Taylor Acorn, Alyssa Bonagura and Bella McCormick. Additional acts will be confirmed in the coming months.
Strings made his U.K. debut in 2022 and most recently toured the country last fall. Though the State Fayre appearance is currently his only date oversees, he did recently announce a string of new appearances, mostly throughout the Southeast. His next shows will take place at Worcester, MA’s DCU Center on November 20 and 21, when he joins Trey Anastasio and the Trey Anastasio Band at a Divided Sky benefit.
