The organisers of the hugely successful Country to Country (C2C) festival have announced that Country Music Week (CMW), which debuted last year, will return in 2018. Taking place from Sunday 21 to Sunday 28 October, the exciting, week-long series of shows will celebrate the genre across iconic London venues.
Country Music Week will once again feature a mixture of live shows and unique events across select venues in central London. As well as big names in country, the events will recognise and celebrate emerging artists within the broad spectrum of country music. The shows offer another opportunity to discover UK and US acts early in their career and will connect fans with the stories behind the songs.
