Acclaimed British singer, Gabrielle will headline the 2025 Sidmouth International Jazz and Blues Festival, taking place in May next year. Gabrielle will take to the stage on Saturday, 24th May at the festival’s main outdoor stage in Blackmore Gardens.

Gabrielle, known for her distinctive voice, has been releasing music since 1993, when her debut single Dreams topped the UK singles chart. Since then, she has produced a string of popular songs, including Out of Reach, which featured on the Bridget Jones’ Diary soundtrack.

At the Festival in 2025, Gabrielle’s setlist will include a mix of classic tracks and songs from her latest album.

Speaking to reporters, Festival Director, Ian Bowden, said: “Securing Gabrielle to perform at the 2025 festival is a major coup. We are always striving to raise the bar with each year and Gabrielle’s performance will undoubtedly complete a fantastic, high-quality programme of headline acts.’

Sidmouth’s Jazz and Blues Festival line up also includes Curtis Stigers, Eric Bibb, Laurence Jones, Zayn Mohammed and the James Taylor Quartet, among others, with more acts to be confirmed in the coming months.

Running from 24th – 26th May, there will be a mixture of jazz, swing, blues, soul, funk, Latin and Cuban music, as well as a series of educational music workshops and masterclasses.
