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. The first wave of names includes dynamic lyricist Antony Szmierek, ‘next-gen yacht-rock six piece’ CVC, post-punkers DEADLETTER and Isle of Wight based stars Coach Party to name a few.

Whilst last year’s edition brought such acts as Shame, Willie J. Healey, Dream Wife, Opus Kink, The Orielles and Demob Happy, this year promises to once again wow audiences.

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.”
