Wild Paths Festival has officially unveiled the first wave of artists for its 2025 edition, kicking off an exciting countdown to five days of genre-spanning live music, DJ sets, and community energy across Norwich from 14–18 October. With over 150 acts expected to perform, the first 52 names already showcase the festival’s signature blend of rising talent, boundary-pushing bands, and cutting-edge DJs.

Leading the first announcement are standouts like Lime Garden, Daudi Matsiko, Getdown Services, and genre-bending newcomers Home Counties. Fans can also look forward to performances from emerging acts including BINA., Eades, and Humour, alongside gritty punk trio Shooting Daggers and alt-pop gem Kitty Perrin. With local favourites, eclectic newcomers, and international sounds all in the mix, Wild Paths continues to prove why it’s one of the UK’s most exciting city-based festivals.

Spread across 15 iconic Norwich venues, from intimate clubs to historic halls, Wild Paths offers more than just live music - it’s a full-blown city takeover, complete with late-night afterparties, conferences, and creative collaborations.

Festival passes are on sale now for just £45, offering access to an unmissable week of discovery and celebration. With more acts still to be announced, 2025 is shaping up to be Wild Paths’ most adventurous year yet.
