We’re ready to announce a slew of new acts for this year’s festival, with old and new faces joining the line-up.

First up – two wonderful artistes who went down so well last year – Pete Hefferan and Ever Hazel.

No strangers to the centre but making their Here Comes The Sun debuts are fun folksters Burnt Tomorrow and young rockers City Scaffold. And three acts that wowed us at the last couple of Are You Listening? festivals – Alphabet Backwards, Adam and Elvis and Jersey Bones – also join the HCTS line-up.

And last but not least is Bity Booker, a singer-songwriter appearing at the Rising Sun for the very first time.

And we’ve still got loads more to come, so keep your eyes open here and on our Facebook event page!
