The Big Feastival will be returning to the Cotswolds from 22 – 24 August for its 14th year of lively music, mouth-watering food and family fun galore, on Blur bassist Alex James’ farm.
This annual spectacular celebrates the British summertime in style, offering a perfect blend of live music, acclaimed chefs, vibrant street food and endless activities for the whole family.
Acts announced so far include music headliners Nelly Furtado, Faithless (Live) and the premiere of Alex James’ Britpop Classical, alongside Travis, The Wombats, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Rizzle Kicks, Tom Walker and Maxïmo Park. Chef headliners Raymond Blanc and Si King will set the stage for a Bank Holiday weekend brimming with good music, good food and good times.
Host Alex James said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be welcoming everyone back to the farm for our 14th year of Big Feastival. We’ve pulled out all the stops to create a weekend packed with incredible music, top-notch food, and something for the whole family to enjoy.
“From Nelly Furtado and Faithless Live to my star-studded Britpop Classical, where Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Supergrass and the entire host of Britpop big hitters get the full orchestra treatment. It will be a unique and fitting way to close Big Feastival 2025 which lands almost exactly 30 years since Roll With It and Country House went head-to-head.
“I can’t wait to see everyone here in the beautiful Cotswolds for what promises to be our best summer celebration yet!”
Nelly Furtado will headline on Friday with her globally adored pop anthems. On Saturday, legendary dance pioneers Faithless (Live) take over the main stage. This year, they’ll be joined by a full live band for an electrifying live set that is sure to bring the party to Saturday night.
Closing the weekend in spectacular style, Alex James’ Britpop Classical brings the unforgettable anthems of the ’90s to life, fusing the raw energy of the era’s biggest hits with the breath-taking power of a full orchestra. Led by Alex James, this global premiere will feature very special guest appearances, with exciting names set to be announced soon.
Once again, Big Feastival will offer a culinary extravaganza. Renowned Michelin-starred Raymond Blanc, widely celebrated as one of the finest chefs in Britain, will be headlining the Big Kitchen, bringing his signature elegance and expertise to the farm. Si King, from the beloved Hairy Bikers, will bring his trademark warmth, down-to-earth cooking style, and vibrant personality to the stage.
The Big Feastival has lined up a superb array of family-friendly activities to keep the small ones entertained from dawn till dusk. Oti Mabuse joins with her family dance class, whilst Children's TV megastar Justin Fletcher will delight younger fans with his high-energy performances, ensuring smiles and laughter all around.
They’ll also have the chance to meet Hey Duggee, join in the fun of incredible Feastival favourite Barrioke with Shaun Williamson, or be swept up by the magical antics of The Flying Seagull Project, the festival’s returning charity partner.
Over the years Big Feastival has fundraised for the charity with project donations going towards improving children's happiness within the UK and across the globe.
