Millport Country Music Festival have announced that their secret headliner for the Saturday (August 31) will be none other than American artist Cam. It’s shaping up to be a rather busy summer for Cam on UK soil as she was recently announced for The Long Road Festival in early September, but in Scotland she will be taking to the stage as headliner. Cam was last in Scotland for C2C 2019 as a Main Stage artist and to date, she hasn’t properly toured north of the wall – only venturing into Scotland for C2C and now for Millport. The Diane singer joins the likes of American Young, Lockeland, Remember Monday, Morganway, Jade Helliwell, Laura Oakes and many, many more. There are still a number of names yet to be announced for Millport, with the festival organisers to drip feed the last remaining names to the public over the coming weeks. Millport Country Music Festival takes place between August 30-September 1. Tickets are available here. The Millport Country Music Festival lineup so far is: Cam American Young Lockeland Sydney Devine Remember Monday Sarah Jory Laura Oakes Danny McMahon Hotel Caledonia (Eagles tribute band) Izzie Walsh Morganway Gasoline & Matches Jade Helliwell Stevie O’Connor Kezia Gill Stuart Landon & Angels With Dirty Faces Backwoods Creek Kerry Fearon (from Keep It Country) Simon James & The Deep River Pilots The Scoundrels Elaine Lennon Zoee Have Mercy Las Vegas Carson City James & Wood Rick Lambert Greyhound Express Rodeo Stomp Disco

Birmingham based group The Adelaides will be one of a handful of UK acts that appear at CMA Fest 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee between June 6-9. The trio, consisting of Abi Phillips, Paris Georgia and Alicia Alba, will also be releasing a single titled Good Love in early June to coincide with the festival. Earlier this year, The Adelaides performed a staggering four sets at C2C 2019 and were also announced as support for Charles Esten’s UK tour, which includes a date at the fabled Royal Albert Hall in London. Speaking about the announcement in a band statement, the girls expressed their excitement to get to perform in America and believe it represents a huge chance for the group. “This is an incredible opportunity for us to play in the home of Country and at the world’s biggest Country event,” the girls stated. “We can’t wait to take to the CMA Fest stage. This is a huge endorsement of who we are as an act and we are so grateful.”  

Essex based artist Lisa Wright has been handpicked to support Jillian Jacqueline for her gig on June 1 at Hoxton Square Bar in London. Wright – who performed multiple sets at C2C 2019 to much acclaim – is currently the only support act scheduled on the night, which will see Jacqueline return to the UK for the first time since C2C 2018. 2019 is shaping up to be something of a very busy year for Jacqueline, who is getting married then immediately heading out on tour in the US, UK, Netherlands and Germany. In addition to her Hoxton Square Bar gig, Jacqueline will also be appearing at The Long Road Festival in September, while Wright is co-headlining a Nashville Meets London event with Austin Jenckes on May 29. Tickets for the gig are available here.
