The singer is a sell-out arena artist back home in America, with Pollstar magazine recently describing his voice as “a smoky, soulful baritone that flows through a room like a slow dance and wraps around listeners like a lover’s embrace”.

Nicky Chance-Thompson, CEO of The Piece Hall Charitable Trust, said: “We are delighted to announce Leon Bridges as our latest incredible headliner for what promises to be a sensational summer of live music here at The Piece Hall.

“Leon is famed for his wonderful voice and powerful sonic storytelling and I cannot think of a better location to see such a unique talent than our one-of-a-kind heritage site.

"It’s going to be an amazing night and one that Leon’s fans, new and old, will absolutely love.
