Richard Hawley will close the summer music festival on Saturday, July 5.
The Sheffield singer-songwriter will be supported by Mercury Prize Winners English Teacher and multi-instrumentalist BC Camplight.
Hawley will perform his critically acclaimed album Coles Corner in full, alongside a selection of hits from across his career spanning four decades.
Since starting his first band in school, Hawley has quietly become one of the country’s most revered musical creatives.
He has released nine studio albums under his own name and two more with Longpigs during the 1990s.
Hawley had a stint as a touring musician in Pulp alongside his close friend Jarvis Cocker.
He has also collaborated with the Arctic Monkeys, Paul Weller, Lisa Marie Presley, Shakespears Sister, the Manic Street Preachers and more.
Hill, project manager at Futuresound Group which is organising the event, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Richard Hawley to Live at York Museum Gardens this year.
“This is the last of this year’s events to announce and to have an artist like Richard Hawley, not only coming to York, but performing the iconic Coles Corner album in its entirety is a real honour for us.
“His eclectic mix of genres against the backdrop of St Mary’s Abbey is just the perfect landscape to close the music series for 2025.”
