Sign of the Times Festival brings rock, indie, and new wave artists to Church End Farm in Stevenage, Hertfordshire on Friday 20th - Sunday 22nd June 2025. The festival recently revealed the first few names confirmed for next year’s gathering… 

Sign of the Times packs three days with a variety of genres. Covering rock, indie, new wave, pop, Britpop, punk, ska, and more from across the decades. After a sold-out edition in 2024, the festival returns in 2025 with its fifth edition. Now, onto that lineup! 

Among the artists announced for 2025 are Elvana (a fantastically fun Nirvana and Elvis tribute and mash-up band) for a much-welcomed return, singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner, folk-punk band Ferocious Dog, and 80s new wave band Haircut 100.

Elsewhere on the lineup is the UK Americana group Los Pacaminos, rock band The Blockheads, Hugh Cornwell (founding member, vocalist, and guitarist of The Stranglers), folk band Skinny Lister, Gun, Xander and the Peace Pirates, and more across two stages.

Many more artists are to be announced, including the three headliners, for the small, family-friendly festival. Increasing its food and drink offerings this year, the festival will also have bars with a great range of drinks and food from all over the world. 

Created by a group of promoters and passionate music fans who want to keep live music as accessible as possible, Sign of the Times keeps ticket prices as low as possible. Parking is free, too.
