Another enigmatic Saturday act for the Gloucester R&B festival.. Hayden Lloyd! 🎸
Hayden Lloyd, an award winning, vibrant guitarist and singer/songwriter hailing from Bath, UK, crafts a captivating fusion of blues, rock, and funk with soulful nuances and diverse influences, culminating in his distinct captive sound. Fronting his dynamic trio, Hayden brings forth a revitalising blend of classic blues and soul, infused with a contemporary alternative rock edge, featuring the rhythmic prowess of Luke Ellis on drums and the solid bass grooves of Matilda Jones.
With the release of his debut EP, "In My Soul," in 2022, Hayden Lloyd made a resounding entrance into the music scene, followed by a notable single release alongside E.L.B, his former band. His early works garnered attention from radio stations, where he's been featured and interviewed on platforms such as Ollie Lewis' Saturday Morning Show on Bath Radio and Luke Knight's Friday night show on BBC Radio Somerset.
His latest releases have ignited a buzz among music enthusiasts, earning rave reviews from publications like TJPL News who hailed him as a "Birmingham-based blues-rock sensation". A strong 2024 culminated in Hayden winning the Orpheus Global Independent Music Award for ‘Best Indie Rock Act’. 2025 has been yet another strong year for the artist with appearances at events such as Tangled Up In Blues Festival and the Dereham Blues Festival. This resulted in a further 3 Orpheus Global Independent Music Award nominations in 2025, further solidifying Hayden Lloyd's place in the contemporary music landscape.
With new music releases, shows and festival dates across the UK to come, 2026 is fast becoming Lloyd's most exciting year yet.
The festival is situated in the heart of Gloucester, within easy reach of both parking and public transport. The entire festival will be totally free for all to enjoy – just as it has been for over two decades! 🎶
Keep your eyes out for all the other incredible acts we have on the bill this year! 💙
