6 Music Festivals on My Radar

Festival season is slowly approaching, the sun slowly creeping out again. Here are 6 music festivals on my radar for 2025

1 - Lido Festival | 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 15th June 2025 in London, UK

A new festival is coming to Lido Field in Tower Hamlets, East London, coming from the same family as All Points East. The fan-first festival celebrates globally loved artists who take the lead on the event curation, alongside emerging talent, community engagement, and creativity at the heart of East London, while also being committed to sustainability and giving back to the local surroundings with their policies. After spending an evening listening to Trip-Hop at The Jazz Cafe, the Massive Attack headlining day is looking like a dream day to attend.

2 - Rock En Seine | 20th - 24th August, 2025 in Paris, France

Attend a festival abroad? Yes please! This is 75% of my dream headliners. I’ve had a pull to France this year after seeing Justice and Phoenix last year - I must see the two again. Surreal feeling Justice set last year at Field Day, the set design during Neverender? I could never forget how incredible it was to witness and be so deep in the crowd.

3 - We Out Here | 14th – 17th August, 2025 in Dorset, UK

This festival has been on my radar for the last three years but I’ve never been able to attend due to clashes. Will this be the year I attend my first camping festival? I hope so!

4 - Love Supreme | 4th - 6th July 2025 in East Sussex, UK

I walked past the poster and simply had to take a step back to look at the lineup. i then looked back at their past line ups and how I have missed this festival?

5 - All Points East | 16th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th August, 2025 in London, UK

This has been my staple festival for the last three years, I have only missed one day and it was the Goriallz headling day (which brings me sadness when i think about not hearing DARE live). APE is always a great time in London; this years headline is not to be missed!

6 - FORWARDS | 23rd - 24th August 2025 in Bristol, UK

After watching Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy at my film club in March, all I can think about is singing It Isn't Perfect But It Might Be to the top of my lungs in Bristol.
