Stormzy to make Welsh festival debut

Stormzy will be making an appearance at the Hay Festival 2023. The 29-year-old British rapper, who is best known for songs including Shut Up, will be discussing his life and career at the festival, which takes place in Hay-on-Wye, Brecon Beacons across May and June.

Speaking ahead of his appearance at the annual literary festival, Stormzy said: “It all started with books for me. As a kid in school, I fell in love with literature and it sparked a life-long journey with words and writing, which led into my career as a songwriter and a musician.

“I’m really excited to pass on this passion at Hay Festival, celebrate our incredible #Merky Books writers, and inspire the next generation of storytellers. Can’t wait to see you guys there!”
