The Specials’ Terry Hall curates festival featuring The Libertines, UNKLE and more

Terry Hall of longstanding ska veterans The Specials has curated a four day music festival, set to begin at the end of next month.

Home Sessions will take place across Hall’s native Coventry from July 29 to August 1, and is being produced in partnership with Coventry UK City Of Culture.

The music, film and spoken word event will take place across three venues: Coventry Cathedral Ruins, Coventry Cathedral, and HMV Empire Coventry.

More acts are set to be announced in early July including female headliners. Coventry City of Culture Trust says it has committed to PRS’ gender equality pledge Keychange for all its events.
