Experience Sally Barker live on September 20th

Sally Barker is scheduled to perform at The International, Leicester on September 20, 2026. Barker’s musical style blends folk, blues, and Americana influences, often featuring intricate guitar work and emotionally resonant vocals. She gained significant recognition as a finalist on the BBC talent show *The Voice UK* in 2014, mentored by will.i.am, and has since released several critically acclaimed albums including “The Mercury Prize-nominated album ‘Love Manufacture’ (2018) and ‘Secrets & Stars’ (2023).

The International is a well-established independent music venue located in Leicester city centre. Originally opening in 1986, it has hosted a diverse range of artists across various genres throughout its history, becoming a key part of the UK’s grassroots music scene. The venue is known for its intimate setting and commitment to supporting emerging talent alongside more established acts. It underwent a significant refurbishment and re-opened in late 2023 following a period of closure due to financial difficulties and structural issues; the renovations aimed to improve accessibility and enhance the overall audience experience while preserving the venue's character.
