James and Stereophonics will headline Neighbourhood Weekender, returning in 2025 to Victoria Park, Warrington. They will be joined by The Wombats, The Lathums, Inhaler, Dizzee Rascal, The Reytons and many more at the much-loved festival on May Bank Holiday weekend. Tickets go on general sale at 9.30am on Friday 22nd November from gigsandtours.com
Manchester legends James will headline Neighbourhood Weekender for the second time. With more than 25 million albums sold over their 42-year career, including the UK Number 1 album Yummy released this year, 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.
Kelly said: “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, we should make a new album…oh wait …we already did that! See ya there for more good times….TUNE!!! TUNE!!! TUNE!!”
Stereophonics have developed an enduring success and deep seated bond with their audience that is like few others. Their achievements include 8x UK #1 albums, 12x UK top 10 albums, 11x UK top 10 singles, including the UK #1 single ‘Dakota’. The group have sold over 10 million albums, 1.5 billion global streams and 5x BRIT award nominations, with 1x 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.
Neighbourhood Weekender kicks off the summer with an incredible weekend of non-stop live music across three stages and much more.
