Latest major headliner announced for Ludlow Castle concerts

Promoters behind the successful concerts have revealed that Scottish rock-royalty Texas will be taking to the stage on July 19.

Texas will be joined on the bill by Aussie pop-star and former Neighbours actress Natalie Imbruglia, while rising Scottish star Rianne Downey completes the line-up.

First formed in 1986, Texas have since become international alt-rock icons with singles such as ‘Say What You Want’, ‘Inner Smile’ and ‘Black Eyed Boy’ helping make frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri a household name.

Their latest full-length release ‘Texas - The Very Best Of 1989-2023’ includes the iconic tracks and more, including their two collaborations with Wu-Tang Clan.

The latest Live At Ludlow Castle news follows the announcement of a sold out evening with singer-songwriter Olly Murs, a 30th anniversary concert from Britpop icons Supergrass, an evening with Irish superstars The Script, a headline performance from legendary electronic act Faithless, and the inaugural Ludlow Castle Comedy Festival featuring sets from stand up Katherine Ryan, Russell Howard and many more.

Now entering its third year, the Live At Ludlow Castle series has already seen sold-out headline performances from the likes of James, Elbow and Anne-Marie.

This year’s concerts will mark the second year in a five-year programming deal between Futuresound, the independent promoters behind the concert series and Ludlow Castle’s management team, with Live at Ludlow Castle running across two consecutive weekends for the first time.

Founded by Ludlow man Colin Oliver, Leeds-based Futuresound said it has worked with Ludlow Castle on creating, establishing and realising the annual series of 6,000 capacity events since 2023.

They added that the partnership is "fully committed to establishing the iconic site as one of the UK’s premier outdoor venues for live music, comedy and more".

General sale for Texas tickets opens 10am on January 24 here and Ludlow postcode pre-sale sign-up opens 10am on January 23 here.
