UK festivals 2025: Current list of festival dates, line ups and early ticketing that we know so far

• The music festival season has slowed down for 2024, but a number of them are already planning for 2025.
• From Slam Dunk’s blockbuster early announcement to Glastonbury not taking a fallow year, many popular festivals have already announced their dates.
• Here’s a look at what we know so far regarding ticketing and line-ups for some of the UK’s biggest festivals taking place in 2025.

I just can’t get a break from music festivals, can I? 

No sooner had I thought that the mad rush of UK musical festivals had come to an end for one year than several festivals have already stuck their flag in the ground to declare they are coming back for 2025.

There’s a welcome return to Bluedot Festival, having taken a fallow year in 2024, while Slam Dunk and Bloodstock have not only started to sell early bird tickets before Christmas, but have even gone to the lengths to announce their first wave of artists not nearly a year before their next event.

So for those of you who are looking to start adding festival dates into your diaries, or look to spoil someone this Christmas with a camping ticket to ArcTanGent or TRNSMT 2025, you’ve come to the right article online. 

This list is by no means exhaustive and expect it to be updated frequently with announcements before the end of 2024 (if applicable), so perhaps a suggestion could be bookmarking this and checking back once in a while to see if anything changes. 

But for now - here’s a look at some of the dates and ticketing details for the range of UK music festivals we’ve seen have some salient details as of writing.
