Wanderlust 2025

After a hugely successful debut “brimming with indie goodness (DIY Magazine)” Wanderlust Festival returns for 2025!

The multi venue festival will take place on the bank holiday weekend in May - 3rd & 4th - and will be hosted by three of the most important live music venues in Southampton - Heartbreakers, The Joiners & The 1865. Presented by leading south coast promoter Psych, Wanderlust is set to once again showcase some of the most exciting and emerging artists in the indie/ alternative scene.

Mercury Award winners and one of the most talked about British bands, English Teacher, have already been announced to headline the festival, alongside dynamic lyricist and previous BBC6 Music Artist of the Year winner, Antony Szmierek.

The final wave today, includes; Amsterdam’s finest Personal Trainer, sun-drenched jazz project Cousin Kula, life-long musicians The NONE (Bloc Party/ Cassels), synth-pop six piece Adult DVD, indie-pop royalty Swim Deep, and your next favourite band - Night Swimming, C Turtle, Gans, Midding, The Sick Man Of Europe, Skydaddy… plus more!

DIY Magazine:”It seems that festival season kicks off earlier and earlier these days, but who are we to complain when the lineups are this good?”

Hard of Hearing: “A must-attend festival in the music calendar, that’s truly worthy of a trip to the south-coast.”

InCommon: “Wanderlust is a dream - A whole day of hopping between our favourite grassroots venues to see the best up-and-coming names in indie and post-punk.”

Presented by Psychedelia.

This is an 14+ event
