Although it is definitely February outside, in our hearts it is officially the start of festival season as the big line up reveals come flooding in. The latest to announce is one of our favourites; Big Feastival (22-24 August 2025).
Headling the Friday night is Nelly Furtado, on Saturday we have Faithless, and on Sunday Alex James' Britpop Classical. The Blur bassist (and your host for the weekend) commented:
"Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Supergrass and the entire host of Britpop big hitters get the full orchestra treatment. It will be a unique and fitting way to close Big Feastival 2025 which lands almost exactly 30 years since Roll With It and Country House went head-to-head."
psst – there's also rumours of a VERY special guest who will be joining Alex James on stage...
If that's not enough to tempt you, other confirmed acts include Travis, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Daniel Bedingfield, Rizzle Kicks and Tom Walker and many more to be announced.
Not forgetting the food - this is a feast, after all - this year's star chefs include Raymond Blanc and Si King, with workshops from a host of culinary wizards including Cherish Finden, Simon Rimmer, Raymond Blanc Cookery School, chefs from The Pig focusing on their 25mile menus and Noor Murad (Ottonlenghi test kitchen) will offering up her Middle Eastern blends.
Children's TV megastar Justin Fletcher will be making his annual and much loved apprearance along with Oti Mabuse's family dance class, Hey Duggee and the incomparable Shaun Williamson's Barrioke.
All of this plus Bridget Christie, Lucy Beaumont, Lou Sanders and The Scummy Mummies (amongst others) bringing the lols.
The Flying Seagull Project, the festival’s returning charity partner will be delighting crowds with their magical antics. Over the years Big Feastival has fundraised for the charity with project donations going towards improving children's happiness within the UK and across the globe.
There's plenty more yet to be announced. For all the information including full music day splits and to book tickets visit thebigfeastival.com
