Bob Vylan have just been announced as the final headliners for 2025’s RADAR Festival.
The London punk duo join Carpenter Brut and Underoath at the top of the bill at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse from July 4 – 6. On top of that, six more bands have also been added to the line-up across the weekend: VUKOVI, As December Falls, Dream State, Lastelle, Shelf Lives and Artio.
“Our final headliner is the unstoppable Bob Vylan,” says RADAR co-founder/co-organiser Catherine Jackson-Smith. “2025 feels like a time of uncertainty when many communities we belong to or guardian feel uneasy. There’s a choice: to carry on passively or to stand up and speak out. Few bands in today’s music scene do this as powerfully and unapologetically as Bob Vylan. With razor-sharp lyricism and an electrifying live show, they don’t just perform – they provoke, challenge, and inspire. Their music is a rallying cry, embodying the same passion and urgency that we at RADAR stand for in these climates. This isn’t just music; this is a movement, and it’s personal.”
Catherine continues: “Added to the bands announced today are those that we’ve admired for years, VUKOVI. I’ve been a fan of them for a long time, so to bring them to the RADAR stage is a booking that has put the cherry on the top for me. This year is going to be fun.”
