Knutsford is set for a huge night of live music this summer as the Knutsford Music Festival brings a Country Collection Evening to St John’s Church on Saturday 6th June and organisers say it could be one of the standout events of the year.
Headlining the evening is UK country sensation Jake O’Neill, who has rapidly become one of the most exciting names in British country music. After rising to national attention on The Voice UK, where he was mentored by Tom Jones, Jake has gone on to top the UK country charts, earning recognition as one of the UK’s leading male country artists.
His music, including fan favourites such as “Better Off Without Me” and “Out of the Blue”, blends heartfelt storytelling with a modern country edge. Jake has even travelled to Texas, the heartland of country music, honing his sound and drawing inspiration from the genre’s roots, something that shines through in his authentic, powerful live performances.
Joining him are Outpost Drive, the Anglo-American duo who are making serious waves on both sides of the Atlantic. Splitting their time between Nashville and the UK, they’ve worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and have supported major touring acts, building a fast-growing international fanbase.
Known for tracks like “Time Is a Dirty Thief” and “Better Off Lonely”, Outpost Drive bring a fresh, transatlantic take on country music, combining rich harmonies with polished songwriting and an energetic stage presence that has wowed audiences wherever they perform.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly
Caroline Haynes, Events Manager at Knutsford Town Council, said:
“We’re thrilled to be bringing artists of this calibre to Knutsford. Jake O’Neill is at the top of the UK country scene, and Outpost Drive are phenomenal live—acts you’d usually travel to see. Having them both at St John’s Church will make for a truly special, intimate night.”
With its beautiful setting and limited capacity, St John’s Church will offer a rare opportunity to see these rising stars up close, something organisers say is a big part of what makes the event so exciting. There is a real buzz around Country music at the moment and these two acts are right at the heart of it.
Tickets are now on sale for £22.50, but with strong interest already building, they are expected to sell quickly.
Whether you’re a long-time country fan or just looking for a great night out in Knutsford, this promises to be a memorable evening of top-quality live music.The event will take place on Saturday 6th June at St John’s Church in Knutsford.
