Manchester Psych Fest reveals first artists for 2025 edition

Manchester’s best weird and wonderful music and arts festival, Manchester Psych Fest, makes a much-welcomed return to the city on Saturday 30th - Sunday 31st August 2025, taking over multiple venues in the city centre and flooding them with the sounds of indie and rock with a psychedelic touch, and psytrance. 

The festival has just revealed the first names who’ll be playing next year, and it’s already looking killer. 

Swedish alternative and experimental fusion group Goat, post-punk band Deadletter, genre explorer George Clanton, indie pop’s Anna Erhard, indie rock’s Honeyglaze, and noise pop band Crocodiles are confirmed to play next year.

Elsewhere on the lineup, we've got PINS (playing Wild Nights), Kit Sebastian, Bubble Tea and Cigarettes, Helicon, Goblyns, Mojo & The Kitchen Brothers, and more. 

Plenty more artists will be revealed in due time. But in the meantime, punters can get familiar with the announced artists’ discographies while looking forward to over 70 live acts total, food stalls, film, art, DJs, trippy live experiences from video/visual artist Innerstrings, yoga, and workshops at Manchester Psych Fest 2025.
