Now in its sixth year of partnership with the grassroots music celebration, Hull Trains continues to demonstrate its commitment to the local creative scene and promotion of sustainable travel, by providing complimentary journeys between Doncaster and Hull, with stops at Selby, Howden, and Brough also included in the initiative.
This year’s festival promises another unforgettable weekend, with over 100 emerging and established artists performing across multiple stages. The Hull Trains Dead Bod Stage returns as a fan favourite, spotlighting a diverse mix of regional talent and paying homage to the city’s maritime heritage.
While much of the final lineup is still a closely guarded secret, festival organisers have revealed the event will be headlined by The Howl & The Hum. Divorce, Fiona-Lee, Casino, DeafDeafDeaf, Downtown Kayoto, Hungry, Pleasure Centre and Romy Taylor are also performing amongst others.
As well as showcasing established artists, the event is a platform for a wide range of local emerging artists and musicians, as well as emerging talents from across the country.
Louise Mendham, Service Delivery Director at Hull Trains, said: “We’re proud to continue our support for Humber Street Sesh. It’s a festival that captures the community spirit of Hull and showcases the incredible musical talent in our region.
“Offering free travel is just our way of helping more people experience the event while promoting greener, sustainable transport. Rail travel continues to be one of the most environmentally friendly ways to get around and Hull Trains remains committed in our efforts to reduce carbon emissions across the Humber region.”
Dave Mays, Festival Director, added: “Hull Trains has been a fantastic long-term partner in helping us grow the Sesh into a greener, more accessible event. The company’s continued support, both through the free travel initiative and by supporting the popular Dead Bod Stage, is a huge boost to our mission of celebrating local music while reducing our environmental impact.”
Festivalgoers can access free travel by simply showing their Humber Street Sesh wristband or ticket to a member of the Hull Trains onboard team. The offer is valid on standard class Hull Trains services from Doncaster, Selby, Howden, or Brough to Hull on Saturday 2nd August, and on southbound morning services the following day.
