The award-winning Humber Street Sesh Festival is thrilled to announce anthemic alternative/indie band The Howl & The Hum will headline the 2025 event, set to take place on Saturday, August 2nd, 2025, on Hull Marina, East Yorkshire. The annual day music festival is renowned for showcasing over 100 acts and providing a platform for regional emerging artists alongside national critically acclaimed bands, promising an unforgettable experience for music enthusiasts.
The Howl & The Hum, hailing from York, have garnered acclaim for their raw, vulnerable storytelling, combined with music that artfully traverses everything from finger-picking folk to indie, country and electronica. The lyrical vulnerability and exploration of sound on their 2020 debut album, ‘Human Contact’, earned international radio airplay and established them as one of Yorkshire’s most treasured talents. The 2024 sophomore record ‘Same Mistake Twice’ marks a new guise for The Howl & The Hum, with their performance on the Main Stage at Humber Street Sesh 2025 a significant highlight in the festival’s lineup.
Joining them on the bill as headliners across other stages are notable national and regional acts including Nottingham’s Alt/Country 4-piece Divorce, Yorkshire’s latest alt-pop truth-teller Fiona-Lee, Liverpool’s soulful rock ‘n’ roll sensations Casino, and the ferocious electro party punk of Hull’s own Jodie Langford, each bringing their unique sound to the festival. This diverse lineup underscores Humber Street Sesh’s commitment to celebrating a wide array of musical talent.
Mark Page, Festival Artistic Director said, “We’re delighted to have The Howl & The Hum confirmed as this year’s festival headliners. They’re a band that we’ve had the pleasure of watching grow over the years, and a huge favourite at our weekly The Sesh night at The Polar Bear Music Club every Tuesday. They’re an act that grabs the soul of an audience. with sublime vocals and arrangements, and one that will undoubtedly stun the crowds at this year’s event. Alongside our other headliners announced today, we’re hugely excited for our 13th edition of Humber Street Sesh.”
