Kaiser-Chiefs-main

The Voice’s Ricky Wilson and his band Kaiser Chiefs are to headline Warwick Castle’s Sounds in the Grounds gigs this July.

The Leeds-based pop-rockers will be taking to the stage on Friday July 10 on a bill including Professor Green and Ella Eyre, followed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra featuring fellow The Voice star Lucy O’Byrne on Saturday July 11.

The new event will be hosted in the castle grounds.

The Kaiser Chiefs are currently working on their sixth studio album from which Falling Awake is the first single to premier, while Professor Green will be building on the success of his third album Growing Up in Public that made the top 5 in the charts.

Ella Eyre, meanwhile, is a rising star with her next single Together out this May, following her recent number one, Changing.

Saturday’s show will have a more classical feel with favourites such as Hornpipe, Rule Britannia!, Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 (Land of Hope and Glory) and Nimrod. The evening will come to an end with a firework display.

Lucy was runner up in this year’s The Voice UK and the performance will be her first at a festival.
