With just four weeks until the gates open, The Brit Fest has unveiled its complete artist line-up for 2025, promising three days of British music legends, family entertainment and brand-new festival experiences at Ashley Hall Showground.

Here's the full line-up poster:
Star-Studded Weekend of British Music
The main stage will be headlined by indie rockers Razorlight on Friday night, reggae legends UB40 featuring Ali Campbell on Saturday, and rock pioneers 10cc closing the festival on Sunday in a North West festival exclusive.

The eclectic line-up also features Tony Christie, Roachford, Blancmange, Johnny Hates Jazz, Hue & Cry, The Fizz, Let Loose, Shakatak, Incognito and Katrina.
World Record Attempt
Building on the success of its debut year, The Brit Fest 2025 has expanded significantly.

For those seeking relaxation, the brand-new Wellness Arena offers saunas, yoga sessions, cold plunge experiences and sound baths, while families can enjoy an enhanced Family Zone complete with rides, arts and crafts, and interactive workshops.
The festival village has also grown to include an expanded street food offering, artisan market stalls, luxury facilities from When Nature Calls, and premium glamping options provided by Tangerine Fields.
TV presenter Jenny Powell and radio personality Mike Toolan will be returning as official hosts across the weekend.
Family Festival with Local Roots
The Brit Fest is the brainchild of Cheshire-based brothers Edward and Anthony Prophet, whose company Great British Festivals runs the event with a remarkable team including more than 20 family members spanning three generations.
It's already earned smore significant recognition, with the festival shortlisted for multiple national and regional awards including Best New UK Festival.
In the past year, it has won the North West Family Business Awards (Judges' Choice), received a High Sheriff of Manchester Award for community contribution, and been awarded the Freedom of Altrincham by the Court Leet.
"The Brit Fest is nearly here, and we're so proud to unveil the full line-up," said Edward Prophet, Festival Director.
"This year we've added new experiences and built on everything that made 2024 such a hit. From the biggest names on the main stage to the smallest moments shared with friends and family – it's all about having a brilliant weekend together."
Anthony Prophet, Commercial Director, added: "Whether you're coming for the music, the food, the glamping or just for a great day out with friends or loved ones, this is what summer is all about. The response so far has been amazing, and with just a few weeks to go, it's time to get your tickets and join us for an unforgettable weekend."
