The Last Train Home
IndieFREDDIE HALKON TO PLAY THE ELECTRIC BALLROOM ON NOVEMBER 13, 2026
The Mercians & Crystal Tides will be joining Freddie on his upcoming London show
From busking on the streets of Scunthorpe to supporting The Reytons and selling out iconic venues such as The Leadmill, Freddie Halkon’s first steps in music have been nothing short of remarkable.
His sound draws on classic indie and honest singer-songwriter storytelling, with a theatrical streak that reflects the range of his influences — from Ed Sheeran to Hamilton. It’s an eclectic mix that feels entirely his own.
Now preparing for a headline tour and major festival appearances, including Neighbourhood Weekender, Freddie is looking back on the local roots that shaped him and the lessons he’s picked up along the way. He’s also looking ahead to one of the most rewarding parts of performing: hearing audiences sing his lyrics back to him.
Freddie's life changed when he played with the Reytons. Before he was used to playing almost empty local pubs, so going from that to a huge support slot in front of tens of thousands of people in less than 9 months was surreal. It also opened his eyes to what was possible. It’s gave him an understanding of how everything works across a big tour and the small details behind the scenes.He now realises how much hard work and dedication it takes to make it in this industry.
Freddie has a lot of gratitude, humour and very big ambitions. So if you want to see one of the North's most promising voices this show will be the one for you.
