Wychwood 2025

[Dales]

I know this forum does not get much traffic but thought it was worth starting a new thread as first headliner being announced this Friday.

I was struggling to guess. I think The Levellers would be very popular with a Wychwood crowd and thought they might go for an 80's legend like Soft Cell or Human League, If they got 2 from that 3 the third headliner would be really poor. The quality of the headliners has been on a slide for a while with generally one decent one i.e Travis, Texas and 2 lesser.

 

Would not be surprised if they went for some one like Shed Seven, Feeder, James or Razorlight along with one from someone like Soft Cell, Human League of similar and one really small name for the Friday.

Pure Quality, well that's the big name and enough for my partner to want to go. She loves Wychwood, so it would not have taken much. I'm well pleased with James,

Yeah, can’t complain with that. I’ve seen them before so would’ve preferred someone I hadn’t seen personally but should be good fun.

A very solid booking and a big fan and seen them loads of times and would have tried to see them someplace next year.

 

Hopefully, they will announce a few more names soon.

They do have a good thing going on. Saw them on Halloween and they were great, and am tempted to go see them again in March, even despite it likely being a similar set.

I got The Magic Numbers, Zutons, The Smyths and Barrioke (of course!)

 

You can do it multiple times as long as you are on different devices or browsers eg. Chrome, Safari etc...

 

The only thing you need to change is the captcha, festival lineup year and numbers to get it to add up to 21

 

Quite a fun game actually!

I also got Shed Seven and The Lottery Winners, which has probably swung my decision to go this year as these are two bands who I’d be very happy watching.

Some nice names there and my other half will be pleased with Barrioke, I just hope he does not clash with anyone good.

Pretty happy with that. Well keen for the Doves

Saw Shed Seven last night, the first time since the 90s. They are still great live and Ricks's voice has held up well, looking forward to seeing them at Wychwood next year.

This looks like a fun lineup. Is the festival good for kids?

I was hoping some one with kids would answer your question. I don't have children and so do not feel best placed to offer much of an opinion. However, there always seems to be families wondering around with hand crafted bits, hats, willow wand art and the like. I know they run classes ,crafts, story tellers, entertainers for children but cant commenton quality.

 

They also do a parade one day with the kids dressed up and showing off a big build such as a Dragon, Monster, Giant etc what ever that years project is.

 

I have no idea if the kids stuff is good or not but always watch the parade and it always looks like the little ones are having fun.
