Staff Eve Of Speech Day Concert 2025

Staff Eve Of Speech Day Concert 2025

23 May 2025 - 23 May 2025

We are very pleased to announce that Sam Ryder will be joining us for our Eve of Speech Day Concert, taking place on Friday 23rd May 2025 in the marquee on the South Front of Stowe School. Most overnight successes will tell you they actually spent years laying musical foundations before the planets aligned and household name status beckoned. That’s certainly true for singer, songwriter and newly-anointed household name of the United Kingdom Sam Ryder, but it’s also true that one night in particular did prove pivotal to Sam: May 14 2022, when he took to the stage at Turin’s PalaOlimpico and blew the socks off roughly 161 million viewers. After a whirlwind couple of years and immense triumph, 2023 cemented the singer songwriter at his peak. Kicking off 2023’s festive season, Sam shared a brand new Amazon original track ‘You’re Christmas To Me’, that ended up battling with Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’ for the Christmas no.1, the track ended up peaking at #2. His debut album 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!’ is a catalogue of infectious pop energy that soared to the number 1 spot in 2022 becoming the first solo artist to debut at number 1 with their debut record since Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour. SPACE MAN gave the United Kingdom its best Eurovision result since 1998 and the highest-charting UK Eurovision entry in over quarter of a century, Sam has since soundtracked many of the pivotal moments in entertainment of recent years from Eurovision to the Queen’s Jubilee, Wembley Stadium, the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone, the National Television Awards and Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball. We are so pleased to welcome him to Stowe for another unforgettable Concert. The timings of the evening are approximately: 5.30pm Picnic area opens 6.15pm Marquee opens 6.30-7.15pm Support act (Stoics) 7.30-8.30pm Support act (Firing Line) 9.00-10.00pm Sam Ryder & Band 10pm End You are welcome to bring a picnic and drinks and make an evening of it, or you can purchase food and drink from the available vendors. We will have a range of savoury street food options, dessert vans, hot drinks, outdoor bars and even a separate champagne bar!
