Stormzy and Dua Lipa are among the major artists scheduled to perform at the Hay Festival this year. Each year, approximately 300,000 people visit Hay-on-Wye, Powys to honor books during the annual cultural extravaganza.
The 36th edition will feature “11 days of difference” beginning May 25, according to organizers.
Julie Finch, the CEO of the festival, stated that this year’s event will be an “international symbol of hope for a brighter future.”
Books and literature, according to Stormzy,
“sparked a lifelong journey with words and writing” that has led him to the top of the charts.
“I’m thrilled to share this enthusiasm at the Hay Festival, honor our outstanding #MerkyBooks authors, and encourage the next generation of storytellers,” he stated.
He will celebrate five years of his book imprint at a special event, while Dua Lipa will record a live episode of her podcast, At Your Service, with Booker Prize winner Douglas Stuart.
Also, The Proclaimers and Judi Jackson are scheduled to perform at the festival.
Helena Bonham Carter, who recently featured in The Crown, along with political figures Sadiq Khan and Sir Patrick Vallance are all expected to attend.
The festival, which will reportedly feature more than 500 live events, will also honor the upcoming winners of the Dylan Thomas Prize and International Booker Prize.
