Live Nation, DF Concerts and Cuffe and Taylor will be bringing Scotland’s long-running live music series Summer Sessions to five new destinations in England and Wales in 2024. The expansion will see events take place in Bedford, Chepstow (pictured), Derby, Plymouth and Southampton for the first time.

The first headliners have already been revealed as Nile Rodgers and CHIC (playing Bedford and Southampton) and Jess Glynne (playing Bedford). Summer Sessions will also return to Edinburgh and Glasgow in 2024, with more cities to be announced soon.

Founded back in 2013 by DF Concerts, the concert series has become a much-loved and highly anticipated live music series in Scotland with events taking place across the country, including Glasgow and Edinburgh.

“The runaway success of Summer Sessions in Scotland has proven the event is one which resonates with music fans and artists alike, whilst also bringing brilliant economic benefits to host cities,” commented Peter Taylor, co-founder of Cuffe and Taylor. “We see an incredible opportunity to deliver world-leading live shows all around the UK under the Summer Sessions banner, and very much expect the events to become regular fixtures in music fans’ calendars. Bedford, Chepstow, Derby, Plymouth and Southampton – we’ll see you in summer 2024. We can’t wait.”
