Neighbourhood Weekender

With a unique community feel, Neighbourhood Weekender is the biggest indie festival in the North West, welcoming both big names and breakthrough new music acts and bands to its three stages.

James and Stereophonics will headline Neighbourhood Weekender in 2025. They will be joined by The Wombats, The Lathums, Inhaler, Dizzee Rascal, The Reytons and many more.

James will headline Neighbourhood Weekender for the second time. With more than 25 million albums sold over their 42-year career, including the UK No.1 album Yummy released in 2024, they are amongst the most commercially and artistically successful – and most loved – alternative rock bands of their era. They broke through to mainstream chart success with their 1990 major label debut Gold Mother and went on to unite the early Nineties with euphoric anthems of solace, love, sex, loss and frustration at the ills of the world: ‘Come Home’, ‘Sit Down’, ‘Sound’, ‘Sometimes (Lester Piggott)’ and ‘Laid’.

Stereophonics headline Neighbourhood Weekender for the first time, following recent news of their ‘Stadium Anthems’ summer tour, which promises to be a journey through the band’s incredible career, with no hit left behind. Stereophonics have developed an enduring success and deep seated bond with their audience that is like few others. Their achievements include 8x UK No.1 albums, 12 UK top 10 albums, 11 UK top 10 singles, including the UK No.1 single ‘Dakota’. The group have sold over 10 million albums, 1.5 billion global streams and 5 BRIT award nominations, with one BRIT award win.

They will be joined by indie stalwarts The Wombats, The Lathums, The Reytons, Inhaler and Wunderhorse, alongside one of the most successful British rappers of all time, Dizzee Rascal.

Mercury-nominated artist CMAT, international pop sensation Sigrid and UK chart-topper Amy Macdonald will perform also, alongside a host of exciting new names, including Luvcat, Sunday (1994), Chloe Slater, Pixey, Overpass and many more.
