Festival Preview | Neighbourhood Weekender

Neighbourhood Weekender is back and bigger than ever for 2025! Set across the lush grounds of Victoria Park, this two-day indie music extravaganza is gearing up to deliver another unforgettable weekend packed with top-tier acts, and electric energy.

This year’s lineup is a blend of massive headliners, buzz-worthy newcomers, and festival favourites, offering something for everyone who lives for guitars, anthems, and good vibes under the (hopefully sunny) sky. Expect iconic names lighting up the main stage, plus hidden gems scattered across tents and intimate corners of the park.

Whether you’re here for the tunes, the food trucks, the fairground rides, or just the feel-good atmosphere, Neighbourhood Weekender never disappoints. With an unbeatable crowd, local spirit, and a lineup that always delivers, it’s the North West’s essential start to the festival season.

Headliners James, and Stereophonics are sure to make sure this is the weekend you won’t forget at the start of summer season but we are ecstatic to see our Scottish favourites. 

Returning to the festival circuit, Amy Macdonald is set to captivate audiences with her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics. Known for hits like “This Is the Life,” Amy’s performance promises to be a highlight, showcasing her evolution as an artist since her debut.

 Glasgow-based singer-songwriter Dylan John Thomas is rapidly gaining acclaim. Known for his compelling storytelling and catchy melodies. His debut album, released in 2024, showcased his unique blend of indie folk and rock, drawing comparisons to fellow Scotsman Gerry Cinnamon.
