The event is set to take place at Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire between July 31 and August 3. Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT next Wednesday (February 5) – you’ll be able to buy yours here.
Headlining this year’s instalment will be Basement Jaxx, Supergrass and Wet Leg, who are all followed on the bill by AURORA, Air and Orbital.
Other acts to feature on the line-up poster include Jalen Ngonda, Annie Mac, Hinds, Bear’s Den, Mary In The Junkyard, Bootleg Beatles, Die Twice and Mista Trick Collective.
Festivalgoers will also be able to enjoy numerous talks and participate in a range of arts including “avant-garde workshops with artists and master craftspeople” as well as “mass participatory high jinx at the hands of an ensemble of weird and wonderful ringleaders”.
Additionally, the event has “pioneered the concept of fine dining in a field and remains unparalleled for the scope and ambition of its food programming”.
This features a long table banquet and three headline chefs making their Wilderness debut at the intimate lakeside restaurant The Chef’s Table: Andy Beynon, Anna Haugh (Masterchef: The Professionals) and Josh Overington.
More names for Wilderness Festival 2025 are due to be announced “soon”. Check out the current official line-up poster above.
Ahead of the general sale, Three+ UK customers can access a pre-sale at 10am GMT next Monday (February 3). Alternatively, both an Audi Presents Wilderness pre-sale and a Ticketmaster pre-sale will go live at the same time on Tuesday (February 4).
This year’s headliners Basement Jaxx are also scheduled to top the bill at Latitude and Camp Bestival.
Their 2025 dates will mark the electronic duo’s first live performances in 10 years, with other slots scheduled in Manchester, Coachella 2025 and more locations across the summer.
Meanwhile, Wet Leg’s 2025 itinerary features appearances at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, TRNSMT Festival, Rock Werchter and Primavera Sound Porto.
This year will also see Supergrass celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut studio album ‘I Should Coco’ on tour.
In a five-star review of Wilderness 2024, NME wrote: “More than just a music fest – or less, depending on your perspective – it’s almost equally focused on tunes, talks, food and oddball entertainment.
“[…] If you’re here solely for the tunes, it’s probably a four-star weekend. But if you’re looking for pure escapism – be it hedonistic or family-friendly – it’s a five. Wilderness: it’s proper nice, man.”
