Your ultimate guide to the biggest UK festivals coming in 2025 - who has been announced and how to get tickets

Struggling to decide which of the many UK festivals taking place in 2025 you think you should attend? Maybe we can offer some help.

Having spent the majority of the second half of 2024 looking at what is on the horizon in terms of music festivals next year, we can attest that there is a huge array of talent already announced for several events taking place - and many more announcements to come.

So be it Leeds and Reading Festival across August Bank Holiday weekend, or if you’re one of the lucky ones that managed to get a ticket to Glastonbury 2025, we’ve pulled together many of the UK’s biggest music festivals, when they’re taking place and who have been announced so far in one neat Christmas package.

All information provided is correct as of writing, but don’t be a stranger here either - we plan on updating this list as and when announcements for some of those “slow pokes” yet to reveal who is playing.

So hopefully, the hardest part is deciding where you’ll be spending your summer next year - will it be Southsea or will it be Donnington Park? Why not both?
