NEIGHBOURHOOD WEEKENDER RETURNS FOR 2025

By Keira Knox

A wave of love and gratitude has greeted the return of one of the UK’s most beloved festivals. With Stereophonics and James as the main acts at Victoria Park, Neighbourhood Weekender is back with a bang. They will be joined by The Wombats, The Lathums, Inhaler, Dizzee Rascal, The Reytons and many more at the much-loved festival on May Bank Holiday weekend.

Neighbourhood Weekender has swiftly established itself as a mainstay of the northern music scene. With an amazing weekend of nonstop live music, it’s always ready to start the summer. The incredible lineup for 2025 is expected to feature both indie icons and a wide range of up-and-coming performers who are bound for major stage success.

Some of the performers farther down the bill are worth checking out, so we need to call your attention to them. Nieve Ella’s ‘Watch It Ache & Bleed’ is her best body of work to date, and her support of Girl In Red during her UK and European concerts have made for an exciting year. Her polished pop edge and gritty 90s indie sound make her a must-see. Siobhán Winifred has established a loyal following and carved out a unique niche for herself with her pop-tinged, energetic indie-rock. Make sure to attend her set as she will be performing at Neighbourhood Weekender on the Saturday.

Dizzee Rascal, one of the most successful British rappers of all time, and indie mainstays The Wombats, The Lathums, The Reytons, Inhaler, and Wunderhorse will join them. Alongside Luvcat, Sunday (1994), Chloe Slater, Pixey, Overpass, and many more intriguing new artists, there will also be performances by Mercury-nominated artist CMAT, international pop sensation Sigrid, and UK chart-topper Amy Macdonald.
