Southampton’s Wanderlust Festival confirms full 2025 lineup and stage splits

Southampton festival Wanderlust has now unveiled all the details of this year’s edition - including its 2025 bill-toppers and stage splits - and, on this evidence, it’s shaping up to be quite the weekend. 

Heading up proceedings are two artists who need no introduction on these (digital) pages: Manchester poet Antony Szmierek will be there on Saturday to celebrate the release of his imminent debut album in style, while closing out Sunday night are English Teacher - the Leeds quartet whose stellar LP ‘This Could Be Texas’ scooped last year’s prestigious Mercury Prize. 

Wanderlust punters will also be able to catch the likes of indie powerhouses Coach Party, Swim Deep, and Deadletter performing between some of the city’s most beloved venues, as well as hotly-tipped newer names like The NONE, The Orchestra (For Now), Human Interest, She’s In Parties, and more - a combination that’s set to make for the perfect music-soaked bank holiday weekend. 

Wanderlust 2025 will take place on 3rd and 4th May across various venues in Southampton. Tickets for are on sale now via the festival’s website; check out the full lineup and day splits down below.
