Wilderness announces line-up of performers, activities and dining experiences for 2025

The Oxfordshire festival reveals the big names on its programme as it prepares to release first tickets

Audi presents Wilderness will return to the nature reserve at Cornbury Park this summer for its fourteenth year, and this year’s programme promises the very best in music, culture, wellness and food and drink.

The genre-spanning line-up is headed by four major names. Thirty years after the release of their debut album I Should Coco, Supergrass take to the stage to play the recording in its entirety, along with other hits. Also at the top of the bill are techno and rave pioneers Orbital and still-ascending indie rock stars Wet Leg. They’re joining the already announced Basement Jaxx, who will play their first full live show in a main stage in ten years.

The Other Wilderness Stage will welcome a host of names spanning dreampop, folk rock and feel-good nostalgia, with Air, Aurora, The Bootleg Beatles, Gentlemen’s Dub Club and Bear’s Den. Meanwhile, over at the Valley, Annie Mac headlines the canopied dance music stage. There are also a ton of unique musical experiences on offer, from the electrifying Women In Jazz collective to a DJ set from Gok Wan.

Because this is Wilderness, the line-up only begins there, with a whole host of talks and workshops from Yard Theatre, Susanna Davies-Crook and Yomi Adegoke, among others. There will be plenty of ridiculous fun to be had at The Club House and The Playing Fields, including a country music themed LGBTQIA+ club night and The Great Big Festival Football Match. If you’re there for the food, the festival has also announced its three headline chefs: Andy Benyon, Anna Haugh and Josh Overington.

Of course, Wilderness wouldn’t be Wilderness without a full roster of wellbeing events and outdoorsy activities, and all the favourites are back this year, from paddleboard yoga to forest bathing. There’s also lots on offer for the kids over at the Family Field – and the well-trained Mortimer nannies will be on hand for parents who need a break. See the full line-up below.
