Wychwood Festival announces first wave line up for 2025!

by
Wychwood Festival has today revealed all the headliners and more for the 2025 edition of the beloved family friendly festival. 

Offering an unmissable weekend of iconic performances in music, arts, and family-friendly entertainment, Wychwood’s uniquely intimate setting at Gloucestershire’s Cheltenham Racecourse will come alive again with the magic of summer between 30th May to 1st June 2025.

Joining recently announced headliners James, will be none other than Shed Seven and Doves, alongside a hand-picked selection of the finest live acts, including Public Service Broadcasting, The Zutons, The Lottery Winners, Ibibio Sound Machine, Scouting For Girls and many more.

Shed Seven join the line up off the back of an unprecedented year of success for the Britpop veterans. They joined an exclusive club in 2024, alongside the likes of Abba, Queen, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift when they scored not one but two number 1s in the Official UK Album Chart in the same year. Revered for euphoric classics like ‘Chasing Rainbows’ and ‘Going For Gold’, and celebrated for incredible new material on ‘A Matter Of Time’ and ‘Liquid Gold’, fans can look forward to an electric headline set on Friday night at Wychwood. 

Rick Witter, Shed Seven’s frontman said: “We are really looking forward to coming back to play at the Wychwood Festival again in 2025. The last time we played there was an amazing atmosphere so we can’t wait to come back and recreate it. Expect big songs and rock and roll. See you down the front”

After three years away, Manchester band Doves are announced today as the Sunday night headliner. Firmly back on the scene and gearing up for a highly anticipated new album ‘Constellations For The Lonely’, Doves’ emotive and atmospheric anthems like ‘There Goes the Fear’ and ‘Pounding’, will round off a closing moment to cherish next summer.

The line-up expands with an exciting array of artists spanning multiple genres. Public Service Broadcasting will bring their one of a kind combination of post rock sonics and immersive historical storytelling, while The Zutons, the Liverpool band that gave the world a timeless singalong hit ‘Valerie’, promise a crowd-pleasing set. Rising stars The Lottery Winners have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most entertaining live bands, and serve to add a fresh edge to the weekend, alongside R&B-inspired pop sensation Daniel Bedingfield as part of an exciting live comeback. Festival favourites Scouting For Girls are sure to draw an enormous crowd to enjoy instantly recognisable and endlessly popular catalog of hits, whilst the hypnotic rhythms of Ibibio Sound Machine and angular and upbeat dance-punk tunes from Home Counties are certain to get everyone dancing.

Scouting for Girls’ frontman Roy Stride, said: “We are delighted to be playing Wychwood Festival this year and look forward to playing all our bangers at such a beautiful family festival. Even more excited that some of my favourite other artists are playing including Shed Seven, James & The Magic Numbers. I might even get down early for a bit of a workout with Joe Wicks!!!  It’s going to be an incredible weekend” 

Public Service Broadcasting said: “We’re really looking forward to coming back to Wychwood Festival – it’s always been a great atmosphere in the past and it’s been too long since we were there. See some of you soon!”

Ibibio Sound Machine said: “We’re excited to be playing at Wychwood festival 2025 alongside so many great acts!”

Elsewhere the soulful desert blues of Mali band Songhoy Blues, the feel-good harmonies of The Magic Numbers and the energetic 8-piece experience of Gentleman’s Dub Club continue the eclectic line-up. Adding a healthy dose of Welsh-wit and nostalgia, Goldie Lookin Chain and The Bug Club bring a unique flair to the program. For fans of viral sea shanties – and there’s evidently plenty of them – Fisherman’s Friends have you covered as leaders of the TikTok-driven revival of this glorious age-old musical tradition.

Wychwood’s centre of amusement, Howlin’ Pete’s, will once again host an array of fun and lighthearted moments, featuring tribute sensations The Smyths, TV and karaoke legend Barrioke, and the Beatles Dub Club. Additional highlights include sets from The Ogretones – the Shrek Tribute Band that has to be seen to be believed, Witney Social Club, and Temps Rising founder DJ Carlton, ensuring a good time for all.

Beyond the music, Wychwood delivers a program brimming with family-friendly activities, arts, and comedy. Fitness personality Joe Wicks will lead a live P.E. session, while the Village Green offers everything from Circus Skills and Magic Workshops to Yoga, Drumming, and the vibrant Sunday Parade. Families can also explore the Storybox Kids’ Literature Festival, unwind in the Healing Gardens or lose those inhibitions into the early hours at the Silent Disco.

With idyllic camping beneath the Prestbury Hills, sensational food and drink, and free entry for children under 10, Wychwood Festival remains a firm favourite for all ages. 

Graeme Merifield, Wychwood Festival Co-Founder, said: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to unveil next summer’s lineup today! The response to James as our first headliner last month was phenomenal, so we wanted to spread a little early holiday cheer by sharing the rest of our headliners, and more, much earlier than we usually do. Bringing Shed Seven to Cheltenham after their historic run with two number-one albums, and welcoming Doves during their exciting comeback year, has my heart pounding already! But it’s not just about chart hits at Wychwood, we’re also bringing HIITs in 2025… We’re absolutely delighted to have booked in a P.E. session on the main stage with Joe Wicks! This year’s Wychwood lineup is shaping up to be something truly special for the whole family.”

With even more to be revealed over the coming months, Wychwood Festival is renowned for presenting diverse musical lineups, alongside a perfect combination of comedy, arts, 100s of family-friendly activities, and sensational food and drink. Drawing growing audiences of all ages from around the UK and following a fantastic show this year headlined by Sister Sledge, Texas and Ocean Colour Scene, anticipation runs high for the 2025 edition.

Wychwood Festival takes place between 30th May – 1st June 2025 at Cheltenham Racecourse. Tickets for both day and weekend entry are on sale now via: https://wychwoodfestival.com/

With a history spanning over two decades in the electronic music scene, D-Edge, originally based in São Paulo, brought its iconic brand to Rio de Janeiro. Located in the Port Zone, in a retrofitted early 20th-century building on the Olympic Boulevard, the cultural complex led by visionary DJ and entrepreneur Renato Ratier blends music, art, fashion, design, and gastronomy across four floors of pure innovation.

Art, Music, and Innovation: The Soul of D-Edge Rio

With a prime location and a modern, laid-back structure, D-Edge Rio has already established itself as a stage for major names in global electronic music, including Charlotte De Witte, Pete Tong, Traumer, Gerd Janson, Gui Boratto, Âme Live, DJ Tennis, and, of course, Ratier himself. In addition to renowned artists, the club also provides a platform for local talent and emerging DJs, reaffirming its commitment to revitalizing the scene.

More Than Music: A Complete Cultural Experience

Since its inauguration in November 2023, D-Edge Rio has stood out for offering more than dance floors. Within its 2,500 square meters, the Rio-based club has become a cultural hub.

At the heart of the venue is Cosmos, a contemporary art gallery showcasing artistic installations, paintings, sculptures, and photographs that ignite visitors’ creativity. Meanwhile, the Ratier Store combines urban fashion and music, featuring exclusive pieces and a special selection of vinyl records.

Later this year, a contemporary industrial-style restaurant is set to open, further expanding the space’s cultural offerings.

The Main Floor: A Showcase of Technology and Sensations

The centerpiece of D-Edge Rio is its main dance floor, located on the fourth floor and designed by renowned architect Muti Randolph, who also designed the São Paulo venue. By combining sound, lighting, and ambiance, the dance floor elevates the audience’s experience to a whole new level.

The exclusive sound system, developed in partnership with KW Audio, is considered one of the most sophisticated in the world. For the curious, there’s even a secret VIP booth for a more intimate experience with the DJs.

Sunsets and the Guanabara Bay View

The rooftop of D-Edge Rio is a spectacle on its own. Boasting breathtaking views of Guanabara Bay, the space transforms into an open-air dance floor during sunset events, creating unforgettable moments for attendees.

Far Beyond the Night: Culture and Social Impact

D-Edge Rio is not just a mega club but also a center for cultural discussions and reflections. Its programming includes exhibitions, lectures, and panels on topics such as inclusion, sustainability, the music market, fashion, and design, reaffirming its importance as a transformative force in Rio’s and Latin America’s culture.

One Year of Achievements, A Promising Future

With its visionary and multidisciplinary approach, D-Edge Rio has established itself as one of Brazil’s greatest cultural landmarks in just one year. It is a space where music and art meet innovation and purpose, redefining what it means to live culture in its most vibrant and impactful form.

The future promises to be even grander. Get ready for new stories, unforgettable experiences, and moments that will transform the cultural and electronic scene. Because D-Edge Rio is not just a club; it is a movement that transcends generations.

Today, the UK’s leading new music festival, The Great Escape, reveals a further 26 artists to complete the FIRST FIFTY artists performing at the festival. Featuring a selection of the most promising new music from across the globe, the FIRST FIFTY is one of the year’s most exciting tip lists for emerging talent.

Many of the artists will be performing in the FIRST FIFTY live launch this evening, with gigs hosted across eight East London venues to kickstart the run-up to the 2025 festival. Highlights are set to include Brighton based rapper RUBII at Oslo, Luvcat taking to the stage at MOTH Club, Chloe Slater heading to Sebright Arms and The Orchestra (For Now) taking over Paper Dress Vintage.

Today’s new wave of acts includes raw and rising Welsh pop-rock singer-songwriter CATTY, Mercury Prize-nominated jazz group corto.alto, eclectic Worldbeat group Sirens Of Lesbos, anti-establishment, genre-defying rap singer-songwriter Miss Kaninna, Indigenous Australian alt singer-songwriter Tia Gostelow, Viennese indie band Laundromat Chicks and rock, reggae and hip-hop inspired South Summit.

From the world of jazz, the new names also include four-piece London group Oreglo and Mongolian singer-songwriter Enji, while emerging songwriter Daffo and rousing Faroese-Nordic artist Eivør are flying the flag for folk. Nods to indie-rock come from Canadian rockers Nap Eyes and indie-grime genre-blender JD Cliffe, while a selection of bedroom-pop artists including Australian singer-songwriter Nick Ward and dreamy electro-pop act Clara Kimera also join the line-up. 

The FIRST FIFTY is completed by buzzy Chicago rapper Kaicrewsade, indie-pop TikTok stars Zimmer90, grunge-soul singer Ashaine White, London-based harpist Marysia Osu, electrifying brother-sister duo PUNCHBAG, wistful soul-inspired singer-songwriter Nectar Woode, Japanese dance-pop act Chameleon Lime Whoopiepie, promising New Zealand group NO CIGAR, tender Irish singer Ellie O’Neill and Dutch five piece The Klittens. 

Synonymous with new music discovery and acting as a springboard for rising artists, The Great Escape is the festival for new music. Playing host to over 450 up-and-coming artists and hotly tipped talent across 35+ walkable venues, alongside the music industry-led TGE conference, the festival will kick off the 2025 season from 14 – 17th May in Brighton, England. Tickets for The Great Escape festival start from £81.24 and are on sale here.
