Boardmasters 2025 just dropped a mega first wave but there are 5 artists from the announcement that have us very excited!
Boardmasters just announced their epic 2025 lineup which was filled to the brim with an eclectic mix of artists for us all to enjoy. As always, we return to the sea breeze rich hills of Watergate Bay to enjoy a week of sun, sea, surf, and music, what a treat! In the first wave announcement though, there were 5 artists in particular that have us especially giddy for Boardmasters 2025.
Wet Leg
The Isle Of Wight outfit became a somewhat overnight sensation with their extremely viral release ‘Chaise Lounge’which was followed by the as popular ‘Wet Dream’. It wasn’t long before the band were on the airwaves across the land and geared up to release their self-titled debut LP. Upon release, the album exploded and earned a Grammy award for Best Alternative Music Album. We’re yet to get a taste of new music from Wet Leg but that hasn’t stopped them from continuing to grow a rabid fan base. Expect an entertaining show that will unite music fans of all kinds under one tent for their set at Boardmasters 2025. Frankly, we cannot wait to see them bring their quirky indie sound to the festival.
Deadletter
The post-punk outfit that blends bouncy elements of artists such as The B52‘s and Roxy Music are going to likely steal the show at Boardmasters 2025. We’ve witnessed them live just once before at TRUCK Festival and it blew us away. It’s a frantic ball of energy that is unleashed upon the crowd without mercy. Since that time the band has brought their sound to new heights and released the critically acclaimed ‘Hysterical Strength’. Catching them at Boardmasters 2025 is a real treat for all, we cannot recommend them (as well as be excited) enough about this band and their performance.
Fat Dog
It’s no secret that we are HUGE fans of Fat Dogwe’ve reviewed their releases, attended countless live shows, and featured them in our zines. If you’ve already seen them live, then you know you’re in for a wild ride. If you’re new to Fat Dogbuckle up and let the pulsing psychedelic sounds whisk you away to party Shangri-La.
Rizzle Kicks
Rizzle Kicks blew up back in the 2010’s with their iconic ‘Down With The Trumpets’ single, blowing them up into the airwaves of every home in the UK. The album that followed the single release also featured bangers such as ‘Mama Do The Hump’and ‘When I Was A Youngster’. The have an extremely nostalgic sound and one that is reminiscent of perhaps simpler, more fun times. I think I speak for every millenial attending that this will be a dose of nostalgia we’ll all be taking a hit of.
Franz Ferdinand
Indie legends and icon Franz Ferdinand make their way to the beach for Boardmasters 2025 and frankly, this might be the best booking of the weekend so far. Like many, Franz Ferdinand soundtracked a lot of our youths during the early 2000’s indie sleaze movement. They are indie royalty and we should all be bowing our heads as they grace the stage. If your not familiar with hits such as ‘Take Me Out’, ‘No You Girls’and ‘Do You Want To’then get to Spotify and listen NOW!
