Foreign Affairs Hit Hop Harvest Festival 2026

Coming to the Festival stage on Saturday 12th September for the Hop Harvest Festival 2026 comes Foreign Affairs.

Blending British roots, Americana and blues with soaring harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, Foreign Affairs are one of the UK's most exciting emerging acts. Fresh from sold-out tours, BBC Radio 2 support and praise from Joe Bonamassa, the Bristol brothers are bringing songs, stories and unforgettable melodies to festival audiences everywhere.

Some bands are built in rehearsal rooms. Foreign Affairs was built on a lifetime of brotherhood. Bristol siblings Adam and Lawrence Purnell have spent years crafting a sound that effortlessly blends British roots, Americana, blues and modern folk into something that's unmistakably their own.

Following years of relentless touring, writing and recording, the duo arrives with their acclaimed debut album, Brothers—a collection of deeply personal songs exploring love, loss, hope and resilience. Produced by Jonas Westling (Lady Gaga, Newton Faulkner), the album showcases not only their remarkable songwriting partnership but also a fearless ability to cross musical boundaries, drawing influences from rock, pop and even classical music.

Already recognised as one of the UK's brightest rising talents, Foreign Affairs have earned praise from blues legend Joe Bonamassa, featured as BBC Introducing Artist of the Week, received BBC Radio 2 support from Bob Harris, and seen their music featured across major television broadcasts including the UEFA Champions League, Sky Sports and BT Sport.

On stage is where the brothers truly come alive. Having completed sold-out European headline shows and toured extensively alongside Grammy-nominated Larkin Poe, they deliver performances that are intimate yet uplifting, packed with soaring harmonies, heartfelt storytelling and songs that stay with you long after the final note.

Whether you're discovering Foreign Affairs for the first time or already following their remarkable journey, don't miss the chance to catch one of Britain's most compelling new live acts—this is a band whose story is only just beginning.
