Discover a variety of major festivals in the UK featuring headliners like Green Day, Korn, Neil Young, and more. From electronic music to indie icons, there's something for every music lover.
The A-list headliners
All eyes will be on masked metallers Sleep Token as they gatecrash the cosy world of veteran rock headliners, joining Green Day and Korn atop a bill studded with barbed delights, from Svalbard’s grandiose hardcore to Loathe’s dreamily atmospheric post-metal.
BST Hyde Park
While it’s bad news for fans of Hugh Jackman – the Greatest Showman cancelled his headline performance due to scheduling conflicts – there are still plenty of big names spread across this central London day festival’s eight dates. Rock legend Neil Young has just been announced, Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo bring the bops, while Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan offer rugged country-tinged singalongs.
TRNSMT
If anyone knows how to party, it’s the Glaswegians – and if anyone knows how to get them going, it’s the bookers at TRNSMT, who’ve somehow wrangled 50 “Go shawty it’s your birthday” Cent alongside the tender rock of Biffy Clyro and the, well, tender rock of Snow Patrol. Check down the bill for rowdy gold: Fontaines DC, Kneecap and Confidence Man.
Reading and Leeds festivals
It’s become cultural canon for millennials to grumble over the Reading and Leeds lineup, but you cannot claim that they’re not paying their due diligence to gen Z. Headlining first-timers Chappell Roan and Hozier are granted space to build on their viral successes, while Bring Me the Horizon and Travis Scott (a European exclusive) offer just the right amount of countercultural allure.
Creamfields
The ravecentric weekender is about as close as it’s possible to get to Ibizan excess in the fields of Cheshire. Taking place on the Daresbury estate, the longrunning, 70,000-capacity event features thumping soundsystems and immersive audiovisual stages such as the arachnoid Halo arena, playing host in 2025 to minimal techno juggernaut Anyma and Scottish star Ewan McVicar.
