Festibelly has announced rising Dublin band Hudson Taylor as the headliner for the Saturday night at this year’s festival in The New Forest on 11-12 July.

Hudson Taylor, brothers Harry and Alfie, have been honing their stirring folk-pop sound over a series of rapturously-received singles and are on the verge of a big breakthrough, amassing a huge underground following. They’ve toured with Jake Bugg and Kodaline and supported the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park. They are currently finishing their debut album, which will be released in the autumn. Hudson Taylor follow in the steps of Festibelly’s previous breakthrough acts including Bastille, Willie Moon, Ghostpoet, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs to name but a few. This promises to be one of the last chances to catch this band in an intimate festival setting.
