Multi-award winning Stendhal Festival has announced forty new musical acts for its 2024 edition, including Liverpool rock band The Zutons.

Also joining previously-announced acts Hot Chip, Heather Small and The Orb are Scottish rockers Fatherson, Donegal sister trio The Henry Girls and more.

The festival is presenting a vast majority of homegrown acts, with thirty Northern Irish artists set to hit the stage, including Conchúr White, The Woodburning Savages, Cherym, The String Ninjas and Andy White, among others.

Reflecting on this year’s program, Stendhal Festival Director Ross Parkhill said:

“We are obviously delighted to add The Zutons to our list of headliners for this year, they are a phenomenal live act and have loads of brilliant tunes that will radiate wonderfully around the fields.”

“For us, the big excitement really comes with the indigenous acts,” he continued. “We have around 20 homegrown acts making their Stendhal debuts this year and being able to provide them with a platform to showcase their talent to a wider audience is really what is at the heart of the festival.”

“We really hope that people can come along this year and find a brand-new, home-grown act that they really resonate with and support going forward.”

Stendhal Festival is set to take place at Ballymully Cottage Farm, Limavady on July 4-6. For more information, click here.
