Festival organisers have confirmed that Neighbourhood Weekender will be back in 2025, bringing some of the biggest music acts to Victoria Park on 24 and 25 May - the May bank holiday.

Attended by tens of thousands of people every year, the popular festival has been held in Warrington since 2018 but took a break this year.

Previous performers include Noel Gallager, Lewis Capaldi, the Courteeners and Pulp. Music fans are now waiting with bated breath for announcements on the 2025 line-up.

Cllr Tony Higgins, Warrington Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for communities, culture and leisure, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled that Neighbourhood Weekender is making a triumphant return to Warrington in 2025!

“After a year’s break, it will be fantastic to see this much-loved festival once again take its rightful place as one of the biggest and best events in our annual calendar.

“The festival has become a real highlight for music fans across Warrington, the wider region and beyond. It brings tens of thousands of people to our town, producing an estimated £2 million net economic value and showcasing Warrington as a vibrant and culturally rich destination.

“Since 2018, it has put Warrington on the music map and helped us to establish a reputation for staging large-scale events, featuring some of the biggest names in music. It’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our town and welcome visitors from far and wide.

“I’m looking forward to finding out what exciting acts will be gracing the stage next year, in what I’m sure will be another hugely successful May bank holiday weekend for Warrington.”
