Chappel Roan’s debut album, ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’ (2023) received critical acclaim, appearing on numerous best-of-the-year lists and earning Grammy nominations. The album saw significant success, even topping the Scottish charts and peaking at #1 on the UK Albums Chart during its 29-week run. This year’s single ‘Good Luck, Babe‘ peaked at #2. Roan’s festival debut is eagerly anticipated, as 2025 marks her first major UK festival headline slot. Known for intimate club performances and a growing cult following, this will be her largest audience yet.

Bring Me The Horizon is a British band which blends metalcore with pop and electronic elements. This band frequently headlines major rock festivals like Download Festival and Reading & Leeds (previously in 2018). Their performances are intense, blending metalcore aggression with crowd-pleasing anthems.
Folk and soul meet in Hozier’s poignant music. Known for ‘Take Me to Church’ and ‘Cherry Wine’, his lyrics often delve into themes of love, social justice, and spirituality, delivered with haunting melodies. Hozier has graced stages at Glastonbury and Electric Picnic, captivating audiences with soulful, stripped-back performances that contrast with festival chaos. His 2025 set promises similar intimacy. If you’re following his work closely, it seems Hozier might take occasional quiet periods for songwriting and reflection, but he remains actively engaged with his music and his audience.
The 2024 Reading & Leeds Festival featured six headline acts: Fred again.., Lana Del Rey, Liam Gallagher, Blink-182, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Gerry Cinnamon.
