The two-day event will be returning to Victoria Park, Warrington over the May bank holiday weekend (May 24 and 25).

James will be headlining on the first day of the event, with performances also coming from The Wombats, The Reytons, Ocean Colour Scene, The Snuts and Amy MacDonald. For the headliners, the announcement comes after the release of their chart-topping new album ‘Yummy’, which was shared earlier this year.

Also taking to the stage on the Saturday will be indie groups The K’s and Lottery Winners, as well as The Royston Club, The Bluetones, Seb Lowe, Kingfishr and more.

For the latter half of the 2025 event, Stereophonics have been confirmed as the second headliners, and will be performing on the Sunday alongside The Lathums, Inhaler, Sigrid and more.

Also performing on the second and last day is Dizzee Rascal – who recently shared news of a tour celebrating 15 years of ‘Tongue N’ Cheek’ – as well as Mercury Prize-nominated CMAT and English rock band Wunderhorse.

For Stereophonics, the slot comes after they recently shared news of a ‘Stadium Anthems’ summer tour, which will see them perform the biggest hits from across their discography.

“Being on the road again with my best friends, playing all the hits of this bands catalogue, for people in huge outdoor gatherings through the summer of 2025 makes me so excited,” frontman Kelly Jones recently said in a statement. “We should make a new album…oh wait …we already did that!  See ya there for more good times….TUNE!!! TUNE!!! TUNE!!”

The instalment will be the first back for Neighbourhood Weekender, as organisers confirmed last year that the event would be having a fallow year in 2024.

Performers at the 2023 edition included Pulp, Ella Henderson, Paul Heaton, Sugababes and more.
