First acts for Beat-Herder Festival‘s 20th anniversary

Armand Van Helden, Fabio & Grooverider and the Outlook Orchestra, Hybrid Minds, Dave Clarke, and Goldie will play Beat-Herder Festival 2025.

The 20th edition of the event will run from Thursday, July 17th to Friday, July 20th in Lancashire’s Ribble Valley.

Co-founder Nick Chambers said: ‘Like ripples on water and the rings of a tree, Beat-Herder’s reach and impact grows. Though we’ve embraced a more intimate feel, our influence stretches far beyond awards and followers: it’s about real people and real lives.

‘With each passing year, Beat-Herder cements its place in UK festival culture, the northern music scene, and the annual migration of thousands who come together each year to celebrate with us. The gravity of Beat-Herder pulls stronger than ever. It’s a beautiful thing, and we can’t wait for many more years of it.’

Also confirmed are 4 AM Kru, Congo Natty, Dub Pistols, Gardna, K-Klass live, K.O.G, Manudigital, Nubiyan Twist, the Lancaster Hotpots, and many more.

Beyond the music, you’ll find hidden tunnels, a secret swimming pool, cars to dance on, teleporting phone boxes, and a parish church complete with stained glass windows and handmade hymn books.
