Two new headliners announced for Warwick Sessions

Popstar Will Young and soul queen Beverley Knight have been added to the list of headliners performing during a series of shows in Warwick.

The superstars will co-headline a show at St Nicholas' Park as part of The Warwick Sessions this summer.

They will join The Stranglers, Train and Elbow as headliners for a run of four concerts in the Warwickshire town.

The pair will perform on 3 July, on the second night of the series of shows.

Originally from Wolverhampton, Knight is widely regarded as one of Britain's greatest soul singers while Will Young is known for winning the inaugural series of Pop Idol.

Ella Billiald, portfolio holder for arts & economy at Warwick District Council, said: "We are very excited to be welcoming these big name artists to Warwick in the wonderful backdrop of St Nicholas Park.

"We do hope that these concerts will attract lots of new visitors to our beautiful town, benefitting our local hospitality businesses and retail."

Tickets for the concert will go on sale from 10:00 GMT on Friday.
