Humber Street Sesh Festival announces 2025 headliners

The award-winning Humber Street Sesh Festival has announced that anthemic alternative/indie band The Howl & The Hum will headline this year’s event.

The 2025 festival will take place on Saturday 2 August 2025, on Hull Marina.

The annual day music festival is renowned for showcasing more than 100 acts and providing a platform for regional emerging artists, alongside national critically acclaimed bands.

The Howl & The Hum, hailing from York, have garnered acclaim for their raw, vulnerable storytelling, combined with music that artfully traverses everything from finger-picking folk to indie, country and electronica.

Joining them on the bill as headliners across other stages are notable national and regional acts including Nottingham’s Alt/Country 4-piece Divorce, Yorkshire’s latest alt-pop truth-teller Fiona-Lee, Liverpool’s soulful rock ‘n’ roll sensations Casino, and the ferocious electro party punk of Hull’s own Jodie Langford, each bringing their unique sound to the festival.

Mark Page, festival artistic director said: “We’re delighted to have The Howl & The Hum confirmed as this year’s festival headliners.

“They’re a band that we’ve had the pleasure of watching grow over the years, and a huge favourite at our weekly The Sesh night at The Polar Bear Music Club every Tuesday. They’re an act that grabs the soul of an audience. with sublime vocals and arrangements, and one that will undoubtedly stun the crowds at this year’s event. Alongside our other headliners announced today, we’re hugely excited for our 13th edition of Humber Street Sesh.”

Early Bird tickets are available now at £15 for a limited time only.

Early Bird sales close on Monday, March 31st, 2025.
