Wide Awake Festival 2025: A Dynamic Celebration of Leftfield Talent

Wide Awake is back and bringing the noise with an unbeatable lineup of leftfield talent. This one-of-a-kind festival, brought to you by Bad Vibrations, LNZRT, and the legendary team behind MOTH Club and The Shacklewell Arms, is all about delivering the unexpected. And for 2025, they’ve packed their bill with artists that will keep you on your toes, from electrifying live performances to boundary-pushing sounds.

Returning to the stage is South London’s own Fat Dog, a high-octane group whose live shows are pure fire. With frontman Joe Love leading the charge, the band has earned a dedicated following thanks to their raw energy and in-your-face performances. Joining them this year are a host of exciting new acts. British shoegaze quartet BDRMM will add some atmospheric vibes, while LA-based electronic duo deBasement is ready to shake things up with their genre-bending beats. Irish hip-hop sensation Curtisy will bring his fresh take on rap, and 3L3D3P, an alternative artist known for explosive electronic music, will get your heart racing. Also joining the roster are London's buzziest band, RIP Magic, who are sure to make waves with their unique sound.

The headliners alone are enough to get you excited, with Kneecap, CMAT, and English Teacher bringing their signature sounds to the stage. But that’s just the beginning. Peaches, the electroclash queen, is set to bring her bold, boundary-pushing performance, while COBRAH will introduce her self-proclaimed “BDSM pop” to a UK audience. With names like Daniel Avery, Mannequin Pussy, Sprints, and Marie Davidson also on the bill, it’s clear Wide Awake is the place to be for anyone seeking a festival that’s anything but ordinary.
