First 2023 festival appearances confirmed

 

Starsailor have today unveiled details of their first two festival appearances in what promises to be a busy 2023 for the band. 

They will return to Belgium to play Labadoux Festival on Saturday 6 May, with their first confirmed UK appearance coming with a headline slot at DevaFest, Cheshire, on Sunday 13 August. 

Frontman James Walsh said: “We always love going to Belgium and we’ve been lucky enough to play on the bill with some music legends over the years. We’re delighted to add Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel to that list at Labadoux, where we’ll be sharing the stage with some fantastic local talent. 

“As a North West band it’s great to see DevaFest go from strength to strength. We’re delighted to be part of the 2023 line-up!” 

These festival appearances follow the band’s acclaimed 15-date UK tour in September 2022, during which they celebrated the 20th anniversary of their debut album Love is Here by playing it in full each night.
