Artists from across the globe will perform in the open-air courtyard over 36 nights.
This year’s anticipated summer series kicks off with the first of two shows by the legendary band James, This Friday, June 6, and finishes on Friday, August 29 with returning Piece Hall favourites Nile Rodgers and CHIC. There are also plenty of acts throughout the summer months to look forward to and avid music fans from all corners of the world, are expected to travel to the Yorkshire town to watch their favourite performers, with plenty of foot fall for local businesses and hotels: great for everyone!
Other names playing the Piece Hall this summer include Roger Daltrey, Il Divo, Busted, Anastasia, The Human League and Roger Daltrey.
CEO of The Piece Hall Trust, Nicky Chance-Thompson MBE DL, said: “With 36 shows in our stunning courtyard, we’re bringing the biggest summer of music yet to the heart of Calderdale.
"We’ll be welcoming some absolute legends from the worlds of the rock, pop, dance, disco and reggae as part of our wonderfully diverse lineup.
"For the first time ever we have a run of seated music shows where we’ll transform the courtyard into a theatre style experience to add something extra to the programme, with The Who frontman Roger Daltry, Squeeze and Anastacia, plus we’ve also added a touch of the classics with the fantastic Il Divo!
"The Piece Hall is such an incredibly special venue, loved by audiences and artists alike, so I can’t wait to welcome back some old friends and introduce new faces to a truly magical, music filled summer."
I personally just have to say that security at the Piece Hall is absolutely brilliant and is headed up by Security Director, Jade Miller, who added: "It is the security team's main priority and passion to ensure everyone coming to the Piece Hall have a safe and enjoyable experience especially in these uncertain and unpredictable times. Gig goers are at the heart of our priority with a Security Team that's at the top of its game."
I'm sure for many people who have bought tickets for the summer gigs this year it's a very exciting time and I, like many others, know you will experience something unique at The Piece Hall. Being in the midst of a crowd with the sun setting above your head, is a magical experience. Throw in the music and.....well, just get yourself along and see for yourself! Come and sample one of the best open air venues in Yorkshire.
