CHESNEY HAWKES
Catch Chesney Hawkes on the Lakeside stage, Friday afternoon!
At just 19 years old, Chesney burst onto the global music scene with his iconic 1991 hit, ‘The One and Only’. The upbeat anthem became a signature song of the early '90s, hitting #1 in the UK and charting worldwide.
Fans have eagerly awaited new music; Chesney has been working on fresh material that combines his classic pop sensibility with more contemporary sounds, leaving loving fans excited for what’s to come. He has also opened up more about his personal experiences in his songwriting, delving into themes of love, self-discovery, and resilience. This vulnerability has earned praise from critics who have noted the maturity and introspection that come through in his lyrics, while still retaining that uplifting energy that has always been his trademark. His comeback singles ‘Get A Hold Of Yourself’ and ‘Live Forever’ have both landed at the top of the BBC Radio 2 playlist with ‘GAHOY’ storming to the top five of the Music Week Charts, supported by the iconic music video that caused a press storm. All of this ahead of 2025’s highly anticipated album, ‘Living Arrows’.
With a career that spans over three decades, Chesney continues to be known for his infectious charisma, timeless hits, and unwavering dedication to his craft, and we’re super excited to have him at CC25!
