Radio 1 rave Declan McKenna heads to Bedford Esquires for Glasto warm-up

Declan McKenna is an English singer, songwriter and musician from Hertfordshire, and he's a fast-riser.


In 2015 he bagged the Glastonbury Festival's Emerging Talent Competition, and now he's heading to Bedford for a Glastonbury warm up show.

Think of alternative indie-pop music with influences from artists like Bowie and you'll have a measure of him.   

His debut album, What do You Think About the Car, is due out next month.

Declan is known for his outspoken political views - take the song Brazil, for example, which portrays a social commentary on the corruption within the Fifa organisation.

The first time he played Esquires he was supporting Blossoms at the start of his journey. Now he's the main attraction.

With Brazil just re-released - and A-Listed on Radio 1 - a sell out is expected, so don't expect to rock up on the night - book now.


Tickets for Sunday's show (June 18) are £10 in advance here
