The Southampton festival Wanderlust has revealed all the details for this year's edition, including the headliners for 2025 and the stage arrangements. Based on this information, it promises to be an exciting weekend. Leading the lineup are two well-known artists: Manchester poet Antony Szmierek will perform on Saturday to celebrate the launch of his upcoming debut album, while the Leeds band English Teacher, whose remarkable LP 'This Could Be Texas' won last year's esteemed Mercury Prize, will close out Sunday night. Festival-goers can also enjoy performances from indie favorites such as Coach Party, Swim Deep, and Deadletter at some of the city’s cherished venues, along with emerging talents like The NONE, The Orchestra (For Now), Human Interest, She’s In Parties, and others—creating an ideal music-filled bank holiday weekend. Wanderlust 2025 is scheduled for May 3rd and 4th at various locations in Southampton.
