Freddie Halkon

At just 20 years old, Freddie Halkon’s rise to fame has surprised even him, going from writing songs in his university bedroom to playing out sold out shows in a matter of months. Originally from Doncaster and currently studying at Leeds University, indie singer-songwriter Halkon responded to a social media post looking for support acts for the Reytons and soon found himself playing to a packed crowd at the Leadmill. 

Stockton Calling is just the start of a whole host of major events Halkon has lined up. On the bill for festivals in 2025 including Kendal Calling and 2000 Trees, Halkon’s lyrical songwriting is already winning him fans across the country. (Kate Relton)
